Zusammenfassung:A pedal emulator for a vehicle that comprises a pedal lever that can be rotated about a first axis of rotation, a power generation unit that has a coupling element mechanically coupled to the pedal lever, and a reset carrier rotatable about a second axis of rotation. The power generation unit is set up to apply a counterforce to the pedal lever via the coupling element. A mechanical operative connection between the first axis of rotation and the second axis of rotation can be established via the coupling element. The coupling element is deformable when a driver exerts an actuating force on the pedal lever that is greater than the predefined maximum actuating force. The pedal emulator also has a first rotary sensor to detect a first rotation on the first axis of rotation and a second rotary sensor to detect a second rotation on the second axis of rotation.
