Abstract

A load adjustment device has a throttle valve 9 which determines the output power of an internal combustion engine and is connected, fixed for rotation, with a throttle-valve shaft 33 mounted in the throttle-valve housing 40. The throttle valve shaft 33 has a mechanical linkage on the accelerator-pedal side, and a setting-member-like linkage side with which a setting member is operatively coupled for displacing the throttle valve 9 in idle operation. A setting member 29 is provided on its outer end with a circular-arc segment 31 which is developed as permanent magnet and cooperates with a magnet 32 which can be excited with current as desired. In this way, an electric motor and gearing can be dispensed with.
