WLF-72: Compact Propulsion and Azimuth Control

Two-axis command inputs, adjustable operating feel and illuminated scales with a 96 × 96 mm mounting base.

I. Product Positioning and Applications
The WLF-72 azimuth control lever from Ningbo Shanbei Technology Co., Ltd. combines propulsion-demand and azimuth-direction inputs in one unit for marine consoles, simulators and test equipment. Its design addresses both the operator’s interaction with the lever and the console designer’s installation requirements.

II. Dual-Axis Operation and Feel Adjustment
Tilting the lever sets propulsion demand, while rotating the assembly sets azimuth direction. The propulsion axis offers ±60° travel, and the azimuth axis supports 360° continuous rotation. A spherical grip, adjustable damping and detent feel allow the operating feel to be configured. Separate scales provide position references for both axes, with adjustable backlighting for different bridge lighting conditions.

III. Mounting Dimensions and Electrical Selection
The WLF-72 uses a 96 × 96 mm mounting base. Its dimensional drawing helps designers check handle clearance, below-panel space and cut-out geometry. Electrical configurations include 4–20 mA current outputs and direct potentiometer outputs, selected to match the receiving controller’s requirements.
