Overview
By converting body movements control signals for myoelectric systems the 9X50 Linear transducer provides a lightweight control option to electrodes. Proportional control of myoelectric components; alternative input to an electrode; lightweight and small, applicable for amputees with very low to no detectable muscle signal to control a proportional terminal device.
- Used to convert body movement into signals for proportional control of myoelectric components
- Simple integration into a harness system
- Accommodates high-level amputations or those who have difficulty with myoelectric control
- Lightweight and compact alternative to an electrode
- Cable travel 8 mm
- Weight 6 g
- Max operating force 10N
The 9X50 Linear Control Element allows continuous, proportional control of prosthesis components using harnesses.
The 4-step 9X51 Control Element allows for proportional control of prosthetic components at four different speed levels using harnesses.
