4QD-BNL-103 Fingertip Throttle Mechanism
<p><font color="00ff66" size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The 'Naked Bell Assembly' is a finger-tip throttle assembly (speed control mechanism) using the <a href="4QD-POT-050.html">50 degree pot</a>. It has a spring return to zero and is supplied with a mounting bracket and a vinyl-capped lever. The spring is light operation to minimize finger strain from continuous pressure on an over-strength spring, yet is still strong enough to ensure reliable operation. The lever can safely be bent if a different shape is needed. This feature means that if the lever gets accidentally bent, it can be easily re-shaped!

The mechanism is also quite suitable for use as a position sensor, for instance in a foot operated pedal, where the lever can be operated by an extension of the foot pedal.

It should also be possible to use this mechanism on a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowden_cable">Bowden cable</a> for remote operation. </font></p>
