A clutch pedal for an electrically operated clutch system simulates the pedal forces of a hydraulically actuated clutch. An operating element is pivotably supported on a mounting so as to move along an operating path between a non-operating position and an operating position. A restoring spring applies a force towards the non-operating position. At least one friction element rubs against a curved friction surface when the operating element is pivoting along the operating path. The friction element is spring-loaded against the friction surface. During operation between the operating position and the non-operating position, the friction element moves over a cam lobe of the friction surface. The friction element is elastically movable radially in relation to the curved friction surface.
