TFD Series 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.
TFD Series Highlights
