F50 Trackball
The F50 Series trackball is a high specification human interface device designed to operate in extremely demanding
environments where reliability and robustness are essential.
The unique aluminium construction provides excellent impact strength, electrical shielding, and environmental
protection, making the trackball an all-round robust solution for the most demanding of military, marine and
aerospace applications.
High-grade stainless steel shafts and bearings ensure a solid and precise pointer control.
The trackball also includes the Cursor Controls Ltd, patent protected, anti-vibration technology which ensures that
only intended ball movements are transmitted to the host system (i.e. when the user’s hand is in contact with the
surface of the ball). This feature eliminates any unwanted cursor motion resulting from ball movement caused by
external shocks or vibrations.
The F50 Series trackball can also be configured with various top plate styles providing options on ball tracking force
and illumination for use in low light environments.
The trackball has been designed to be back of panel mounted as part of a rugged keyboard/console or alternatively
can be supplied as part of a custom panel solution with integrated switches (please consult your local sales office for
details on customised solutions).
