MXbrakePedal – Fortce Feedback Brake Pedal

Evaluation and tuning of brake systems — standalone force-feedback characterisation

MXbrakePedal: Haptic Brake Pedal Actuator for Driver-in-the-Loop Simulation Brake pedal feel, controllability, and driver comfort are measurable, brand-defining vehicle attributes. Reproducing authentic haptic feedback in a driving simulator requires hardware that accurately replicates the force-displacement behavior of a real brake system. The MXbrakePedal is a haptic actuator developed by MdynamiX specifically for reproducing brake pedal behavior in Driver-in-the-Loop (DiL) simulation environments. The actuator replaces the master cylinder and connects directly to the original brake pedal of the simulator cockpit, preserving authentic pedal geometry and ensuring that all forces and displacements act through the original mechanical path. A standing pedal variant is available. Haptic Fidelity and Dynamic Performance ● Direct integration: the MXbrakePedal replaces the master cylinder and connects to the original vehicle brake pedal, preserving authentic pedal geometry throughout. ● High-force actuation: the spindle actuator generates over 6 kN of force, covering the pedal force range of passenger cars, high-performance vehicles, and motorsport applications. ● High bandwidth: the system accurately reproduces fast transient events including ABS-induced pulsation, sudden stiffness changes, and brake booster interventions. ● Precision and repeatability: high sampling-rate force sensing, precise position feedback, and real-time control loops provide low-latency response and a repeatable brake pedal feel, enabling consistent evaluation of demanding maneuvers. Configurability: Real-Time Parameterisation of All Pedal Variables ● Real-time parameter adjustment: all pedal variables — including ABS effect profiles — can be adjusted in real-time without interrupting a test session. ● Instant A/B Testing:distinct pedal characteristics can be switched at the push of a button, accelerating subjective evaluation studies. ● Dual operation modes: the system operates in standalone mode via a GUI for KPI-based tuning or receives force inputs directly from a real-time simulation model or from the MXbrakeLink hardware interface. ● Complete pedal box expansion: the active brake pedal unit can be extended to include passive or fully active accelerator and clutch pedals, forming a comprehensively adjustable simulator pedal box.
