THUMB CONTROLS - HR SERIES - FRICTION HOLD – Automation and Controls UAE

HR Series friction hold Date: 01/07/2016 APEM expands its range of proportional thumbwheels with a new, friction hold version. This new patented technology allows for ultra-precise movement while allowing the user to hold the selection in a set position. A PATENTED TECHNOLOGY The HR series uses proven non-contacting Hall effect sensor technology, independent from the friction mechanism, providing a smooth and precise linear voltage output that does not degrade over time. Therefore, this new thumbwheel is particularly adapted for speed control on a handle. 2 VERSIONS TO FIT YOUR NEEDS one with 11 detents along the travel (1 at center and 5 on each side) another with a center detent, smooth movement on each side and providing a feel of friction hold without detents. Frontally sealed to IP68, the friction hold HR series is available with 2 actuator styles, a wide range of colors and optional backlighting. MORE PRECISE AND COMFORTABLE CONTROL Historically, speed control was achieved through the use of a potentiometer or rotary switch, which are generally large and bulky. Hall effect sensor technology improves the user experience with optimized ergonomics, efficiency and a longer lifespan. Sealed up to IP68, the HR series with friction hold is ideal in applications that include panel mount and joystick integration as well as agricultural machinery, material handling equipment and off-road vehicles.
