Abstract

A pedal device is provided. For the actuation, a pedal element is deflectable in relation to a basic element. A bearing element is accommodated and rotatably mounted in at least one bearing shell on the basic element. The bearing element includes at least one first bearing sub-element and a second bearing sub-element which is movable in relation to the first bearing sub-element. The first bearing sub-element is connected to the pedal element. At least one resetting element acts on the second bearing sub-element. The first and second bearing sub-elements are arranged with respect to each other in such a manner that they are supported against each other at least one support point. When the pedal element is detected counter to the action of the resetting element, an outwardly directed press-on force arises on the bearing sub-elements such that the latter are pressed onto the bearing shell.
