Abstract
A load adjustment device is formed of a setting member, and a control element which acts on the setting member to establish a power output of an internal combustion engine, an accelerator pedal, via a driver coupled to the accelerator pedal, activates the control element. The adjustment device also incldues an electric setting drive for moving the driver, and an desired-value detection element operatively connected with the driver, as well as an actual-value detection element which cooperates with the desired-value detection element and acts upon the electric setting drive. The electric setting drive is controllable as a function of values detected by an electronic control device. The driver has a free-travel element which is mounted displaceably in a direction of setting of the free-travel element. The control element engages with play in its direction of setting in the free-travel element, and the free-travel element operates with the driver under spring loading.
