This lever allows you to interface directly to electronic gearbox (solenoid driven) combined with mechanical engine
With this lever it is possible to set up large installations that would be impossible to achieve with traditional mechanical systems.
Inside the control station are implemented electronic switches for reverse and forward positions while the command of the throttle engine is either via a Flexball cable, thus ensuring the requirements of precise handling and reliability that are typical of the Flexball cable, or through a standard push-pull cable.
This solution has further advantages in case of installations with multiple control stations (see diagram on next page). With this control system it is very easy to make a perfect change of command from one station to another, also during navigation. Since the levers are mechanically bounded to each other, when moving a lever, the other follows. In the transition from one station to the other, the pilot finds the lever on which he has just come, exactly in the same position of the lever that he has left and the engine’s working conditions remain unchanged.
