This series of controls is designed for fixed panel mounting and is operated by the hand. They are normally used to control rate and provide a linear, infinite resolution voltage signal output proportional to the applied force. When the force is released, the control signal returns to zero. Force is specified as 10 lbs. maximum, with options up to 50 lbs.		Provide Operator with Higher Tracking Accuracy than Other Styles Rapid and Accurate Positioning Capability Low Training and Fatigue AC or DC Input/Output High Dynamic Range

		Model 430C Series This two axis force operated precision hand control converts uses reliable and proven piezo-resistive silicon strain gauge technology. This device has found hundreds of applications in industry and are used extensively world-wide today. The small force transducer base can be installed in applications with very little below-panel space. Combined with the inherent high reliability and precision of the strain gauge technology, the Model 430C is an ideal solution for many applications requiring a full-sized precision hand control.

		Model 436 A two axis hand control using a small diameter, straight, finger-tip handle which provides comfort and sensitivity for high accuracy applications. Unit operates on ± 15 VDC supply voltage at 100 mA. The output has adjustable sensitivity and offset.

		Model 446 This hand control offers the versatility of using a grip as the human interface. The added trigger and other switches allow the operator to perform multiple tasks while operating the primary transducer. The unit provides a ± 10 VDC output from a ± 15 VDC supply. Other outputs are available as options.

		Model 456 A two axis hand control incorporates a push button switch on the handle. Unit operates on ± 15 VDC supply voltage at 100 mA. The output has adjustable sensitivity and offset.
