Home Xometry Community Industrial Design Robust actuator-to-brake pedal joint for angled, high-force actuation

Robust actuator-to-brake pedal joint for angled, high-force actuation

f
0

hi, i am designing a push-rod connection between a linear actuator and a vehicle brake pedal for a durability test setup. The actuator can apply 750 N, and the pedal rotates through its travel, so the actuator rod sees angular misalignment and dynamic loads. I’m looking to allow this angular change without overloading/wearing the actuator. For high-force pedal actuation like this, what joint or linkage approach works reliably?
