Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0455880A2] A load control device is equipped with a throttle valve 9 determining the output of an internal combustion engine, which valve is rotationally fixed to a throttle valve shaft (32) supported in the throttle valve housing (30), the throttle valve shaft (32) having a mechanical articulation side on the accelerator pedal side and a servo motor articulation side to which a coupling element is assigned for the mechanical disconnection of the throttle valve from an electric motor (14), and a device for relaying the respective position of the throttle valve lever (21) arranged on the throttle valve shaft (32) and of a driver element (25) to an electronic control device (17). The relay device has a first transmission element arranged rotationally fixed on the throttle valve shaft (32) and acting in concert with a first potentiometer (23) and a second transmission element supported so that it is free to rotate on the throttle valve shaft (32) and acting in concert with a second potentiometer (24). All parts of the relay device are accommodated in a dust-protected housing 36, resulting in a very compact arrangement. <IMAGE>
