How to provide force feedback in a pedal?
...
Both hydraulic systems and pneumatic systems can also be combined with a simple external spring attached to the pedal to help return the pedal faster and provide more resistance. A torsion spring could also be investigated, but it probably makes the pedal more complex than it needs to be.
Load Cell
Another possibility is to incorporate a load cell into the pedal that conerts the pressure on the pedal to a voltage that powers a servo that can provide resistance. However I couldn’t find this being used on actual cars, rather just on pedal sets for sim racing, so it is probably difficult to implement into a car and not the best choice.
