Elobau Sensor Technology Inc. has introduced a new micro pushbutton, Model 145MA, a Hall Effect device with linear analog output, designed for integration into an industrial joystick knob or control panel. The device is based on Hall Effect technology with a linear analog output, making it suitable 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 is housed in an IP67 protection class housing. The company guarantees long service life in excess of two million operations on the switching mechanism. Button caps are available in multiple colors and can be imprinted with customer-specific symbols. Keystroke length is 4 mm. Model 145MA functions well in ambient operating temperatures from–20 ºC to +75 ºC. www.elobau-st.com Elobau Sensor Technology Inc.
