HFX Single Axis Throttle
Distinctive features
• Rugged, hand operated control
• Hall effect sensing
• Single axis friction clutch operation
• Optional mechanical detents with microswitches
• RoHS compliant
• 10 million life cycles
The HFX Single Axis Throttle is a heavy-duty, friction-clutch device delivering continuous, dual-direction positioning control. Featuring high strength, hand-operated lever action and optional mechanical detents, the HFX Single Axis Throttle is ideal for applications requiring reliable off-highway operation. Available with several handle options which may accommodate either rear panel or drop-in mounting, widely used applications include forklift and lift-platform automation. The HFX Single Axis Throttle utilizes non-contact Hall effect technology and is available with dual output options.
