Cushman Accelerator Pedal without Potentiometer – CU897184

This accelerator pedal is manufactured by Cushman for Cushman lift trucks and is supplied without the potentiometer, meaning it is the mechanical pedal assembly alone rather than a complete throttle-position sensor unit. The pedal is what the operator presses to command speed, and its mechanical linkage or arm is what moves whatever sensing device is paired with it to signal the controller how much throttle or drive current the operator is requesting.

Because this pedal comes without the potentiometer, an installer needs to transfer the existing sensor from the original pedal or source it separately to complete a working throttle assembly; this configuration suits shops that already have a functional potentiometer and only need to replace a cracked, bent, or worn pedal body. Pedals see constant foot pressure and pivot wear over the life of a truck, and a worn pivot point can develop play that makes the throttle feel imprecise even when the sensor itself is fine.

At 2 pounds, this is a lightweight mechanical component consistent with a pedal arm and mounting bracket. Ordering by the manufacturer part number ensures the pedal matches the mounting geometry of the original unit on the Cushman truck it is installed in.
