How it works

In the video, the two compressed air inlets on the ‘rocker switch’ are connected to a control signal from the handle (the red front button). This allows the ‘rocker switch’ to be activated as required.

The two control outputs are connected directly to the cylinder to demonstrate the unit’s precise controllability.

Advantages:

  • Intuitive and ergonomic operation
  • Fatigue-free operation (compared to operating with the thumb)
  • Precise control

Examples of use:

  • Up/down control of a lifting unit
  • Forward/backward movement of a friction wheel drive
  • Various positioning units
  • Balancer unit (in combination with the appropriate control system)
