Claim 19:
20. A pedal pad assembly comprising:
a base;
an outer housing having a bore and coupled to the base
an inner housing positioned within the bore of the outer housing, the inner housing having an outer surface;
a pedal pad coupled to the inner housing and configured to translate the inner housing along a first movement axis in response to a load applied to the pedal pad;
at least one link member having a proximal end and an opposite distal end, the proximal end of the at least one link member moveably coupled to the outer surface of the inner housing;
at least one sliding member having a first end and an opposite second end, the first end coupled to the distal end of the at least one link member, a target positioned between the first end and the second end, the at least one sliding member configured to move along a second movement axis;
at least one sensor positioned within the base and configured to sense a position of the target along the second movement axis,
wherein during a translation of the inner housing along the first movement axis, the proximal end of the at least one link member moves thereby moving the distal end of the at least one link member and translating the at least one sliding member about the second movement axis, the second movement axis is perpendicular to the first movement axis.
