Forklift Accelerator Pedals: A Deep Dive into Design and Functionality

Forklift Accelerator Pedals: A Deep Dive into Design and Functionality

Jun 17 , 2025

There are many parts on a forklift. Although they seem unimportant, they actually play a very important role and are essential for the safe driving and efficient operation of the forklift.

Accelerator Introduction

 

It is mainly used to control the speed of the forklift. When the driver steps on the accelerator pedal, the accelerator rod will produce a certain amount of displacement. This displacement signal is converted into a voltage signal through the action of the components in the accelerator and transmitted to the chopper by the wire. The chopper outputs the corresponding amount of electricity to control the running speed of the travel motor according to the voltage signal transmitted by the accelerator through the logical operation and processing of the control card. The more the accelerator pedal is stepped on, the faster the travel motor speed is, thus realizing the stepless speed regulation of the forklift.

 

Common accelerators

 

The biggest feature of the forklift accelerator pedal is to make your forklift speed up! It uses advanced technology and can perfectly cooperate with the forklift's electronic control system, allowing you to feel the surprising acceleration effect in an instant. Both the speed of handling goods and the driving efficiency will be greatly improved. No longer have to worry about the slow progress of work, the accelerator pedal will take you to break through the limit and complete the work task easily!

 The role of the accelerator

 

1.Improve production efficiency:

The accelerator pedal can significantly improve the acceleration performance of the forklift, enabling it to reach high speed in a short time and respond quickly to the driver's instructions. This means that the cargo is moved faster and the work tasks can be completed with higher efficiency.

2. Simplify operation:

The accelerator pedal makes the forklift easier to operate. The driver only needs to control acceleration and deceleration by stepping on the pedal. Compared with traditional throttle control, this operation method is more intuitive and easy to use, reducing the possibility of operating errors.

3. Provide precise control

The accelerator pedal allows the driver to accurately control the speed and acceleration of the forklift. This is especially important for handling operations in a small space or work that requires precise positioning of cargo.

Hall electronic accelerator

1. According to linear output voltage

(1) 0-5V (CURTIS, PG, SME)

such as: RJSQ-001, EFP712-2406, HXJS-4805, ET-126, F3-122-131, YFJS-WSK4-001, etc.

(2) 0-10V (ZAPI, DANAHER)

such as: COPP16/13, HXJS-1210, Q61F2-40801, FZ3-152-343/341, etc.

(3) 3.6-0V (GE, SEVCON)

such as: EV100 accelerator, ACAC02, HXJS-4836, FZ3-123-32, etc.

2. According to linear Working voltage is divided into

(1) 12V

such as: JSQD-124/001, COPP13/16, EFP712-2410, FZ3-142-70, YFJS-WJS1-305

(2) 48V

such as: JSQD-001, FEP712-2406, ET-126, JCTH-3601, YFJS-WSK4-001, HXJS-4805

(3) 80V

such as: EV100, JCTH-8001, YFJS-WSK4/003

The difference between the linear voltage and the switching voltage of the accelerator:

The linear voltage refers to the working voltage of the internal circuit of the accelerator, and the switching voltage refers to the input or output voltage of the accelerator switch.

Resistive accelerator

1.0-5K accelerator

Such as: EFP-001, EFP713-0502 (four-wire)

2. Three-wire 0-5K accelerator

Such as: FP-6, EFP713-0502 (five-wire), EFP-005

3. 5K-0 accelerator
