59 -- THROTTLE LEVER/SINGLE AXIS CONTROLLER SOL N65540-98-S-0001 POC David Remner, NSWCCD-SSES Code 9532, (215)897-1270. Souces Sought: Throttle Lever/Single Axis Controller. The US Navy is seeking sources for an industrial shock/vibration hardened throttle control lever/single axis controller. The controller's intended use is as a throttle control lever. Salient characteristic 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 ( +30 degrees, centered at zero), 240 ohm resistor on each end of potentiometer, lever linear lever scale from 10 to -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 9 conductors (three conductors for each potentiometers, two connectors for backlight power supply, and one for chassis ground). Conductors shall be M16878/6-BEE or equivalent. 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 6.5 x by 6.5 inches by 3.32 inches deep, and overall height less than 7.75 inches. For additional information and requirements contact: David Remner, NSWCCD-SSES Code 9532, phone (215) 897-1270, fax (215) 897-1283, e-mail remner@mailgate.navsses.navy.mil.
