Abstract
An adjustable pedal system has a first pedal pivotally attached to the translatable nut of a first jack screw actuator for adjusting the fore and aft position of the first pedal and a second pedal pivotally attached to the translatable nut of a second jack screw actuator for adjusting the fore and aft position of the second pedal. An electric motor is drivingly connected to the first jack screw actuator and the second jack screw actuator to drive the translatable nuts fore and aft. The fore and aft alignment of the first pedal with respect to the second pedal is maintained by a switch assembly that is mechanically connected to the translatable nuts of the two jack screw actuators.
