HAPTICORE 14

Discover our smallest rotary haptic actuators

With a diameter of 14 mm and a weight of only 8.2 grams, our HAPTICORE 14 products are our smallest rotary haptic actuators so far. They are primarily designed as a thumbwheel. However, thanks to variable cover and gearing options, you can use them in a variety of applications, e.g. as an adaptive trigger, a haptic scroll wheel, or a slider.

The HAPTICORE 14 is designed for single-finger operation and the low base torque of less than 1mNm ensures comfortable operation, even during long-term usage.

Thumb wheel design

The HAPTICORE 14 is designed as a thumb wheel and despite its small diameter of 14 mm and its weight of just 8.2 grams contains the entire electronics and sensory system (hall sensor and magnetic ring).

For secure mounting, the HAPTICORE 14 is fixed in a cradle, which can be adapted to the available space within your product.

HAPTICORE 14-P001X1, our smallest rotary haptic actuator with a diameter of only 14 mm, designed for applications such as computer peripherals, consumer electronics, and smart home appliances.

Push & tilt function

Our HAPTICORE 14 rotary haptic actuators themself do not provide an integrated push function. However, this push function can be integrated by adding optional switches to the mounting mechanism.

Furthermore, also a tilt function can be added. This way, the HAPTICORE 14 actuators offer you various possibilities for your multi-layered UI design.

Battery powered use

Whether stationary or mobile, the HAPTICORE 14 brings increased precision and efficiency to any application through freely programmable haptic feedback.

With the HAPTICORE 14, we have perfected the power consumption of our actuators to produce strong haptic feedback with only 5 V of power supply. This allows you to integrate it even into battery-powered devices, such as remote controls, handheld devices, and computer peripherals.

Haptic feedback & cover design

With a low base torque of < 1mNm and a maximum barrier torque of > 12 mNm at 400 mA coil current, the HAPTICORE 14 offers pleasant and highly accurate haptic feedback for single-finger operation.

In addition to the performance indicators, also the cover’s texture is crucial for the perceived haptics. The cover material and surface finish can be freely selected. The recommended cover diameter for the HAPTICORE 14 is 17 to 30 mm.

Our customer integration team will be happy to assist you in selecting the right cover and fine-tuning the haptic feedback.

Cover mounting

The HAPTICORE 14 includes 3 lashes with screw points for easy and secure cover attachment. In addition to this fastening mechanism, other variants are possible.
