Original Press Release:
New Thumbwheel and Pushbutton Control Components from Elobau
Elobau Sensor Technology Inc. introduces a larger thumbwheel control, Model 151DT01, designed to give users a better tactile "feel" as well as easier control. In addition, the company is offering a new micro pushbutton, Model 145MA, a Hall Effect device with linear analog output. Both new components from Elobau are designed for integration into an industrial joystick knob or control panel.
Model 151DT01 features a generous 8.2mm wide thumbwheel and compact mounting dimensions of only 37mm x 25.25mm x 27.7mm for easy integration into joystick knobs. With an IP67 DIN EN 60529 protection class housing and operating temperature range from -25ºC to +75ºC (~-13ºF to +167ºF), this rugged unit is ideal for harsh environments and continuous outdoor use. Operating voltage is 4.5-5.5VDC standard, with 15mA current and output voltage of 0.5-4.5VDC.
A compatible micro pushbutton control, Model 145MA, is also being introduced by Elobau. This device is based on Hall Effect technology with a linear analog output, making it ideal for applications where a simple on/off switching function is insufficient. These include controlling moving devices on all types of machines and mobile systems, as well as hydraulic valves on industrial vehicles. The switching element on this pushbutton device is housed in an IP67 protection class housing, making it suitable for the harshest environments. Elobau guarantees long service life in excess of two million operations on the switching mechanism. The button caps are available in multiple colors and can be imprinted with customer-specific symbols, as needed. The overall unit measures 15.1mm dia. and 27mm in length, from the head to the tip of the M12 thread. Keystroke length is 4mm. Model 145MA functions well in ambient operating temperatures from -20ºC to +75ºC (~-4ºF to +167ºF). Operating voltage is 5V and the maximum operating current is 15mA. In the standard version, output voltage is 0.5-4.5VDC.
Elobau is a vertically integrated manufacturer that performs all circuit and cable production, plastic molding, assembly and full performance testing at its factories. Thus, modifications to suit virtually all industrial and commercial requirements are achieved quickly and in a cost-effective manner, through the design and engineering talents resident at Elobau.
Interested parties should contact Elobau for full details on these and the company's other controls, sensors and machine safety products. Visit Elobau at www.elobau-st.com.
