About Levers & Pedals
Levers and pedals are mechanical devices designed to transmit force and motion efficiently. A lever is a rigid bar that pivots around a fixed point called the fulcrum, enabling the user to amplify force to perform tasks with less effort. Depending on the arrangement of the fulcrum, effort, and load, levers are categorized into first-class, second-class, and third-class types, each serving distinct purposes. Pedals, on the other hand, are foot-operated levers commonly found in vehicles, machinery, and musical instruments. They allow users to control actions like acceleration, braking, or operating tools by applying foot pressure. Together, levers and pedals are essential components in various mechanical and ergonomic applications, enhancing functionality and ease of use.
