| A manufacturer of golf carts sought
a more reliable accelerator technology which could withstand
exposure to wash-down, fertilizers and pesticides. |
|
Cherry developed an accelerator
sub-system with redundant solid-state and electro-mechanical
inputs. The solid-state Hall-effect component provided linear
output corresponding to the angle of the accelerator pedal,
while the electro-mechanical switch provided redundant
confirmation of pedal position. |
|
For this custom solution, Cherry
employed the following capabilities:
• Magnetic modeling
• IP67 sealed electro-mechanical
switches
• In-house printed circuit board
assembly with robotic conformal
coating
