Precise thumbwheel for ergonomic single-axis control
The TRY13 thumbwheel is a slim single-axis thumbwheel with minimal width and a shallow installation depth. It can be integrated ideally into compact control panels and joystick grips. With a deflection of 80° (±40° from the center position), spring return, and an actuation force of only 0.7 N, it enables sensitive yet low-fatigue operation—even with frequent or continuous use.
Its non-contact Hall-effect sensor technology provides a proportional, analogue output signal at a 5 V supply voltage. Various output voltage ranges are available: 0 to 5 V, 0.5 to 4.5 V, or 1 to 4 V. Redundant signals for safety-oriented applications are also available as an option. Combined with a mechanical life expectancy of five million movements and an IP67 protection rating for the electronics, the TRY13 delivers stable output signals over a long service life—even in demanding environments with temperatures from -40 °C to +85 °C and increased EMC requirements.
For control concept design, thumbwheels are available in black, grey, red, or blue, optionally also with a lever pin for additional mechanical coupling. The TRY13 is supplied including a mounting spring clip and seal, so secure mechanical fixing and panel sealing are taken into account from the outset.
