Abstract
A pedal device for a vehicle includes a pedal arm that is rotatable about a rotational axis in a pedal housing, a pedal reaction force generator for generating a pedal reaction force in a direction opposite to a direction in which an operating force of the pedal arm is applied via a pedal pad formed on the pedal arm, a friction force generator comprising a contact disposed at an end of the pedal arm proximate to the rotational axis and a contact surface formed on an inner surface of the pedal housing to be in contact with the contact of the pedal arm, and a position detection unit for detecting a position of the pedal arm. The position detection unit includes a magnet, in which two or more poles are arranged in a displacement direction and in a direction perpendicular to the displacement direction.
