Overview
A pedal pad is the molded cover that sits on a vehicle pedal arm under the driver’s foot. It is molded as one assembly: a rubber face with ribs across it, a stiffer backing plate, a rim standing around the edge, and two buckles on the underside.
The buckles hook under the pedal plate and the rim folds over the edge, so a pedal pad holds without a screw or a rivet. The ribbed face gives the foot a set of raised lines to press against, and the gaps between the ribs let the rubber give under the sole instead of sitting flat and slick.
The backing plate carries the shape, so a pedal pad stays bowed to the pedal arm.
Key Features & Benefits
- Ribbed face: raised lines across the pad under the foot
- Rim around the edge: folds over the pedal plate and holds the border down
- Two buckles: hook under the plate, so the pad fits without a screw
- Bonded rubber on a backing: a soft face on a part that keeps its shape
- Rib runs that stop short of the rim: the edge stays flat
Because the pad is molded in one shot, this pedal pad repeats its rib height and buckle spacing from part to part.
Customization Options
- Outline: length, width and corner radius
- Ribs: pitch, depth and direction
- Rim: height and lip
- Buckles: count, position and tab size
- Rubber: hardness and face texture
- Backing: plate thickness
- Color: black, gray or a matched shade
Send the pedal plate and the pad comes off the tool with the buckles on the spacing your 3D file sets. A second rubber can be run over the same backing when the pad has to feel softer under the foot.
Quality & Delivery
Tooling for a pedal pad is cut in our own mold shop, and the first article is gauged against your 3D file, outline and buckle spacing included, before the run is released.
Mold faces are polished to the sheen your 3D file calls for, the gate is trimmed flush, and the rubber meets the backing with no lift at the edge. Lead time is quoted with the unit price and held to the date, and each batch is gauged before packing.
We mold every pedal pad to your 3D file, so the ribs, the rim and the buckles follow the model. Send the 3D file for a quotation with the tool cost and the unit price.
