Now operators can feel the kickdown in pedals
In addition to analogue output and directional switches, all Caldaro's pedals can now be fitted with a mechanical detent so that the operator feels the kickdown area
It's already in use in different applications such as excavators, wheel loaders and forest harvesters, which all have quite rough operating environments.
The design of the sensor is very compact, fitting into a handle or operators panel.
With the wide operating angle of +/-25 degrees, users get a very good proportional feeling when operating the lever.
The S05A is available with single or dual outputs.
The dual outputs can be either parallel or crossed.
Supply voltage is 5V DC (+/-10%).
The output signal can be programmed to 5-95% or 10-90% of 5V.
It can also be fitted with different types of connectors and labels.
The S05A can withstand EMC-levels of more than 100V/m.
The S05A meets is IP67-rated.
