(57) [Problem] To provide a pedal device capable of easily setting a hysteresis characteristic to a desired value without using a cable. A pivot is rotatably supported on both side plates of a bracket, and one end of a rod of an accelerator pedal is fixed to an end of the pivot. When the accelerator pedal 16 is depressed, the torsion spring 18 urges the accelerator pedal 16 in a direction to return to the upper limit position. The friction damper 24 is provided on the pivot 22 between both side plate portions 1404. The friction damper 24 includes an inner member 26 that rotates integrally with the pivot 22, an outer member 28 that is non-rotatably disposed outside the inner member 26, a friction plate 32 that is disposed in the annular space 30, and a coil spring 34. , A frictional engagement portion 36, a biasing force varying means 38, a washer 40, a stop cap 42, and the like. |
