Aerco has been appointed as the exclusive UK distributor for Ultra Electronics Measurement Systems (Ultra MSI), an American company that manufactures a range of commercial and industrial control mechanisms, including joysticks, hand controls, control grips and trackballs.
Of particular interest to the UK electronics market will be a range of Hall-effect joysticks. Ultra MSI’s unique adaptation of Hall-effect technology for multi axis joystick sensing was first patented and introduced by Ultra MSI in 1998 (U.S. Patent No. 5850142) and offers many benefits over traditional potentiometer and inductive joystick designs providing low power dissipation, excellent temperature stability and a life time of 20 million cycles. Most importantly, there is no degradation of performance throughout the operational life.
