PEDAL DEVICE WITH FUNCTION OF ADJUSTING PEDAL EFFORT

An object of the present invention is to provide a pedal device that makes it possible to adjust the reaction force applied to the driver pressing the pedal to correspond to the driver's driving propensity by adjusting the pre-compression force against the return spring providing the return force to the pedal arm such that the operability is improved and the fatigue of the driver's ankle is reduced, and corresponds to the requirements of the driver by appropriately adjusting the reaction force. In order to achieve the object, the present invention provides a pedal device with a function of adjusting pedal effort including a housing that is fixed to a car body, a pedal arm that is hinged to the housing and pivots about the housing, an elastic member that is disposed between the housing and the pivot end of the pedal arm and provides a return force to the pedal arm, a pedal effort adjusting unit that is movably disposed in the housing and having a sloped portion for adjusting a pre-compression force to the elastic member, and a pre-compression force setting unit that sets a fixed position of the pedal effort adjusting unit with respect to the housing and keeps a pre-compression force applied to the elastic member at a predetermined level.
