Foot Pedal Forces for Seated Operators
1a Department of Engineering Production , University of Birmingham.
Abstract:
The foot controls of spot welding machines were orgonomicnlly evaluated, and redesign recammondations put forward. Ten male and ten female subjects were tested to dotermine the maximum isometric force that a seated operator could exert on a horizontal foot pedal. The experimental results showed no significant strength differences between right arid left legs and mole legs strengths were 9% to 50% greater than female leg strengths depending on the position of the foot pedal.
