  • Method and system for simulating a manual operating device
    Publication number: 20050182609
    Abstract: A system for the simulation of a manual operating device has a lever with an upper and a lower end which has a first axis of rotation extending essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal dimension of the lever and a second axis of rotation extending essentially perpendicular to the first axis of rotation and to the longitudinal dimension of the lever. A rotatory servo motor is coupled on the rotor side to the second axis of rotation of the lever, for providing a predetermined torque at a predetermined actual angular position of the lever. A linear motor which is coupled on the rotor side with the lever, for providing a predetermined force at a predetermined actual position of the lever.
