Friction Throttle

Friction Throttle Control

Hand-operated throttle control with friction hold for equipment that needs adjustable control settings that stay in position.

Where this fits

Tough, demanding conditions on mining and construction equipment, drilling rigs, and on and off-highway equipment need a throttle control that is adjustable and stays put. The friction pad was formulated from a special material that gives the control the positive feel and settings needed, especially in an environment with vibration and contaminants. This hand operated control connects to a push-pull cable that is attached to the engine governor, or other apparatus needing variable control.
