TFD Series Torque Feedback Device

TFD Torque Feedback Device

The new Torque Feedback Device (TFD) provides a variable torque output, in proportion to a DC input, for steering and other by-wire applications. This innovative design offers a cost effective, high quality user interface by applying state-of-the-art friction materials and a patent pending electromagnetic actuation system. Incorporated into the TFD are two redundant sensors for fail-safe shaft feedback. Several standard product configurations are offered with torques ranging from 2.5 to 20Nm, and the TFD's modular design makes it easily adaptable to specific application requirements.
