CHRISTCHURCH, U.K. – March 18th, 2026 – Curtiss-Wright has today announced the launch of the WM-G75 modular rocker pedal, a heavy-duty, floor‑mounted electronic pedal designed for very demanding off-highway applications and as a drop‑in electronic replacement to support OEMs transitioning from hydraulic to electronic pedal systems.

The WM‑G75 uses air as the damping media to deliver a controlled, repeatable return-to-neutral response, helping to maintain consistent pedal feel and precise control across the full operating temperature range. The patented air-damped mechanism is configurable, allowing OEMs to tune the damping rate and pedal forces to suit specific vehicle and operator requirements.

Typical applications include travel and throttle pedals on construction, agricultural and material-handling machines where durability, controllability and resistance to contamination are critical.

Designed as a compact above-floor solution, the WM‑G75 features a narrow profile and low pivot point with reduced floor penetration, protecting the flying-lead harness as it exits below the cab floor and easing installation in restricted footwells. The core mechanism can be supplied as a stand-alone unit or adapted to customer treadles, cab floors or hand levers for maximum integration flexibility. This highly configurable platform architecture enables pedal rotation from ±9° to ±12°.

Using best-in-class electronics throughout, redundant Hall-effect sensors are integrated into the pedal, with electrical outputs configurable as dual APS/APS‑IVS analog, dual PWM, or CAN J1939 to match different system architectures. The electronics are based on Curtiss-Wright’s proven WM‑830 sensor platform, which is ISO 13849 PLd capable, supporting implementation of functional safety requirements.

To withstand harsh operating environments, the WM‑G75’s sensor and mechanism are sealed by an external boot, with the sensor rated to IP69K and IP68S and the mechanical assembly to IP68S. The pedal is rated for at least 3 million full-stroke cycles and has been tested for high static loads, vibration, shock, dust, salt spray, pressure washing and chemical exposure to common off‑highway fluids.
