Heusinkveld Pedal Set

Unlike standard potentiometers, the load-cell sensor measures the actual force applied to the pedal rather than the distance traveled. The hydraulic assistance mimics the firm, progressive feel of a real race car, allowing for more precise muscle memory and consistent trail braking.

Because these pedals are designed to handle up to 140kg of brake force, they require a rigid, dedicated aluminum profile rig. They are not suitable for use with office chairs or lightweight wheel stands, as the high operating force will cause the pedals to shift during use.

Yes, the pedals offer extensive mechanical adjustments for angle, travel, and resistance. You can further refine the response using the SmartControl software, which allows you to create and save custom output curves for different vehicle profiles, such as a soft feel for vintage cars or a stiff setup for modern GT3 machines.

The pedals connect via a dedicated USB controller and are recognized as a standard game controller by Windows. They are compatible with all major PC racing titles, including iRacing, Assetto Corsa, and rFactor 2.

No, the hydraulic system is completely maintenance-free. It is a sealed unit designed for long-term reliability even under the heavy, repetitive loads experienced during professional-level sim racing.

The software is intuitive and user-friendly, featuring a visual interface where you can adjust deadzones and force curves in real-time. While the hardware is professional-grade, the software makes it straightforward to calibrate your pedals and save your preferred settings.
