| Ultra MSI’s manually
operated, subpanel trackballs are precision, two or three
axis cursor positioning devices that are ideal for applications
requiring extremely high precision of tracking and positioning.
Tthey are available both with or without switches. These
trackballs utilize high integrity, high resolution encoders
and have an optical, non-slip, non-stress interface. The
top plates are easily customized to fit nearly any panel
requirement. The products are available in a variety of
output interfaces. |

Ultra MSI’s revolutionary MAGTRACK™
trackball has the ability to be completely submersible.
Its non-contact magneto-resistive sensors and PCBs are
fully encapsulated in a waterproof resin to ensure that
the unit is fluid-proof. What makes MAGTRACK™ different
from competing trackball products is the fact that it
utilizes encapsulated magnets and electronics in place
of encoders. Also, there are no foam drive units to
get worn.
MAGTRACK™ can be used in commercial
and military applications that encounter wet environments
such as construction vehicles, amphibious vehicles and
naval vessels. It is ideal for commercial or industrial
applications where fluids like coffee, liquid cleaners
or other types of liquids can infiltrate existing electronic
controls.

This trackball is offered in both
a military and industrial version in order to provide
a quality input device for applications where panel
space is at a minimum. A unique ball suspension design
results in smooth motion with no preferred direction,
as well as a much higher ball surface exposure than
many larger trackballs. TTL quadrature and serial outputs
are available.

This low profile model features a
1.5 inch diameter ball in a 3 inch square housing and
a very shallow behind-the-panel depth of .750 inches.
It provides a solution to those applications that have
space restrictions. A cable with connector is provided.

A 15 pin pendant connector with 10
inch cable is standard. Power required is +5 VDC at
170 mA maximum. Standard colors are: black ball, pilot
ring and case with a white Teflon seal around the ball.
Measures 3.5 inches square by 2 inches deep.

This rugged, all metal chassis trackball
offers the advantages of a large ball in a package that
requires only two inches of below-panel space. Our ball
suspension design provides a smooth motion in all directions
and an increase in ball surface exposure for superior
control. Output options are TTL quadrature and serial
(RS232 or RS422) in a variety of formats.

This three axis control provides
a third output proportional to the theta or rotational
motion in addition to the normal X and Y components
of ball motion. This model uses a 3" ball and is
available with a choice of output options.
