99 -- INDUSTRIAL SHOCK/VIBRATION HARDENED CONTROLLER/JOYSTICK SOL N65540-97-S-0002 DUE 102097 POC Dave Remner, Code 9532, (215) 897 1270. The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, Purchase Branch Philadelphia is seeking sources for an Industrial Shock/Vibration Hardened Controller/Joystick. The controller's intended use is as a throttle control lever. Salient characteristics include: two independent handle controls with synch-lock feature, separate potentiometer for each handle with overall resistance of 5 kilo-ohms, electrical angle of 60 degrees (plus or minus 30 degrees, centered at zero), 240 ohm resistor on each end of the potentiometer, lever linear scale from 10 to minus 10 with center detent at zero, braking system on levers which will meet military shock and vibration requirements, and incandescent backlighting of face plate. Maximum of 500 mA power consumption when backlighting set at maximum (24 Vdc supply). The throttle control lever is to be form, fit and function replacement of existing equipment. The equipment will be panel mounted. Electrical connection will be one shielded cable consisting of 12 conductors (three conductors for each potentiometers, two connectors for backlight power supply and one for chassis ground). Conductors shall be M16878/6-BEE. The potentiometers will be provided with a 12 Vdc supply, the lamp will be provided with 24 Vdc. Dimensional requirements include a 8.25 inches x 8.25 inches mounting plate, potentiometer housing below the mounting plate limited to a 6.5 x 6.5 inches by 3.32 inches deep, and overall height less that 7.75 inches. For additional information and requirements, contact: David Remner, NSWCCD-SSES, Code 9532, telephone (215) 897 1270, fax (215) 897 1283, eMail remner@mailgate.navsses.navy.mil. (0261)
