HR Series friction hold

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.

Why use illumination?

Illumination increases power consumption and complicates the wiring design, so why should design engineers consider the option? Because illumination is one the simplest and most flexible ways of designing an intuitive control panel.

Why choose a Hall-Effect sensor for your joystick?

Joysticks are among the most versatile solutions in the designer’s toolbox. Joysticks are intuitive enough to be quickly mastered by new users, while their proportional response enables experienced operators to achieve remarkable levels of precision. This has led to the adoption of joystick controls for a wide range of demanding industrial applications. Commercial and heavy vehicles, as well as machine controls, all benefit from the versatility of joystick design.
