Printed Circuit Boards & Electronic Control Units

Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are found in all but the very simplest electronic devices. Essentially, the PCB is the machine's brain. It's a hub for electronic communication. The PCB connects to the other electronic components in a machine, or even to the PCB of a separate device, in order to receive, process and transmit data. Most devices would be utterly useless without them. 

Whilst all complex electronic devices need a PCB to function, they don't all rely on the same type of PCB. In fact, PCBs are as diverse as the machines they're wired into. You'll find them in every type of industrial electric vehicle, such as forklifts and mobile elevating work platforms. They're also present in smaller electronic devices like accelerators, cameras, monitors, shock protection systems and many more.

The accelerator is what you use to tell your machine to move. Regular cars are generally driven using a pedal accelerator, but this isn’t always the case for industrial vehicles. Hand-control accelerators enable a vehicle to be operated completely by hand. 

In electric vehicles, accelerators rely on an electronic connection between the pedal or hand controls and the engine’s throttle. This enables you to control the speed of the vehicle by regulating the flow of electricity. 

We stock a wide range of pedal and hand-control accelerators to suit different vehicles and circumstances. The specific accelerator you need depends on the machine it’s being installed in. To find out which accelerators are compatible with your machine, head to online shop and search by entering your machine’s details in Xpart.

The best solution for your machine is not necessarily a new part. At TVH, we remanufacture used PCBs and accelerators, giving them brand-new lives. Our remanufacturing process is carried out by experts who fully repair the parts and then thoroughly test the reman parts to ensure they function perfectly. We’re confident in the quality of our remanufactured parts that we offer them with the same warranty as new parts. 

remanufactured PCB and accelerator advantages:

• Save money. Remanufactured PCBs and accelerators are up to 50% cheaper than new ones, but the quality is just as good. 
• Save materials. Purchasing a reman PCB or accelerator is a more sustainable option than buying new.
• Keep your old machines active for longer. If you need a replacement PCB or accelerator for an old machine, a remanufactured version might be the only option.
