Abstract
A cam-guided adjustable pedal actuator assembly for a vehicle includes a housing for connection to vehicle structure and a linear actuator operatively connected to the housing. The cam-guided adjustable pedal actuator assembly also includes a pedal operatively connected to the linear actuator for adjusting a position of the pedal relative to the housing. The pedal has a cam surface to cooperate with the housing as a force is applied to the pedal such that the housing and the pedal effectively act as one solid member to transfer force to an actuating member in a manner of a conventional pedal.
