TW Series Thumbwheel Control

Proportional, Self-Centering Single Axis Thumbwheel.

The TW series thumbwheel is a self-centering single-axis device intended for thumb-actuating applications. Utilizing non-contact hall effect technology, these thumbwheels are ideal for those jobs requiring proportional output. The TW series thumbwheel is available as a stand-alone or can be incorporated into a custom joystick. Configuration options also include linear voltage outputs as well as wheel colors.
