Aerco has been appointed as the exclusive UK distributor for Ultra Electronics Measurement Systems (Ultra MSI), the 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. These joysticks will find application in robotics, construction equipment, hydraulic controls, medical and surgery equipment, security and video cameras and scientific instruments.
Marc Bunce, Aerco marketing manager, said: "These innovative joysticks complement our range of commercial and industrial products that includes solenoids, filters and switch products and will be an important addition to the Aerco product range."
Thomas Herr, business development manager of Ultra MSI is highly optimistic about the appointment saying: "Aerco makes an ideal distributor for Ultra MSI because of its strong marketing organisation and we expect the Aerco Design Support team to open up new markets in the UK for our joysticks."
