The 966 000 series electronic throttle pedal is a rugged, floor-mounted control device engineered for heavy-duty vehicles and industrial machinery. It provides precise engine speed management through a non-contact Hall effect sensor, with two built-in return springs and ingress protection up to IP69K. Available with multiple rest position angles (33°, 39°, 45°) and a travel angle of 17°, this pedal ensures responsive, reliable throttle operation in extreme conditions ranging from -40°C to +85°C. Its factory-programmable output options — including analog, PWM, CAN J1939, and CANopen — make it a versatile solution for modern engine ECUs and vehicle networks.
The Electronic Throttle Pedal 966 000 series from MCS is a high-performance control device engineered for the rigorous demands of off-highway vehicles, heavy equipment, marine vessels, and industrial machinery. This floor-mounted throttle pedal utilizes Hall effect sensor technology to provide wear-free, precise position feedback to the engine control unit (ECU). Its robust construction features a die-cast aluminum treadle and a protected sensor housing, ensuring long-term reliability in harsh environments. The unit is factory-programmable for a wide range of output signals, including analog, PWM, CAN J1939, and CANopen, allowing for seamless integration into various electronic systems.

The Electronic Throttle Pedal 966 000 series converts the mechanical motion of the operator's foot into an electrical signal that the engine ECU interprets as a desired speed request. Inside the robust housing, a programmable Hall effect sensor magnetically detects the angle of the pedal arm. As the pedal is pressed, the sensor generates a precise, non-contact voltage reading. This signal is then transmitted to the ECU via the 6-pin AMP connector. The chosen output type—whether analog, PWM, or CAN J1939—determines the format of this message. The pedal incorporates two built-in return springs that provide a natural, progressive pedal feel and ensure the pedal automatically returns to its calibrated rest position (33°, 39°, or 45°) when released, meeting FMVSS 124 safety requirements for unintended acceleration prevention. Optional features like force hysteresis can be added to modify the tactile feedback for improved operator comfort.
The 966 000 series carries an IP69K ingress protection rating, making it fully protected against dust ingress and able to withstand high-pressure, high-temperature water jets. This makes it suitable for outdoor and harsh industrial environments where exposure to water, dust, and debris is a concern.
Yes. The 966 000 series supports CAN J1939 and CANopen communication protocols as factory-programmable output options. It can seamlessly integrate with modern engine ECUs and vehicle networks.
The pedal operates reliably in temperatures from -40°C to +85°C. It can be stored in a wider range of -40°C to +125°C, ensuring its performance in extreme conditions.
The pedal is factory-programmable to offer a wide selection of output signals, including Analog, PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), IVS (Idle Validation Switch), Current Loop, CAN J1939, and CANopen.
Yes, a mechanical kick-down feature is available as an option. This provides a tactile detent feel at full throttle, signaling maximum engine demand to the operator.
The pedal meets several critical global standards, including FMVSS 124 for throttle control systems, FMVSS 302 for material flammability, and ISO 26262 for functional safety at the ASIL C level for specified sensor versions.
