QUESTION:
Why choose the Hall-Effect Pedal Assembly (HEPA) over a potbox?
ANSWER:
The traditional method of speed control input has been a potbox (potentiometer). While this works okay, its performance tends to degrade over time since there is are moving, contacting parts inside the potentiometer. It's often a pain to mount the potbox right where the throttle resides in the engine compartment.
The HEPA uses magnetic sensors (Hall-Effect sensors) which have no contacting parts. This equates to a long-life, non performance-degrading throttle unit.
While for some, the pedal might just not fit, most vehicles can be made to accomodate the HEPA with a custom mounting bracket.
