The Electronic Hand Throttle 972 000 series is a purpose-built industrial hand throttle control designed for applications requiring reliable remote engine speed modulation. Featuring a smooth 90-degree travel angle, this electronic throttle lever provides operators with precise, infinitely variable control over engine RPM, hydraulic pump output, or auxiliary functions. Rated IP69K for complete protection against dust and high-pressure water jets, the unit thrives in harsh environments where mud, moisture, and temperature extremes are common. Factory-configurable output signals—including Analogue, PWM, IVS, Current, CAN J1939, and CANopen—allow the throttle to interface with both legacy and modern electronic control units, making it a versatile solution for OEMs and system integrators worldwide.

The Electronic Hand Throttle 972 000 series combines extreme environmental protection with flexible electronic interfaces, delivering reliable remote engine speed control across the most demanding industries.

  • IP69K Ingress Protection: The throttle carries an IP69K rating, providing complete dust-tight sealing and resistance to high-pressure, high-temperature water jets. This makes the unit ideal for outdoor machinery, vehicle washdown areas, and environments with exposure to mud, moisture, or aggressive cleaning procedures.
  • 90-Degree Smooth Travel Angle: The lever mechanism offers 90 degrees of smooth, proportional travel, enabling operators to make fine adjustments to engine speed or hydraulic flow with consistent tactile feedback. The ergonomic design reduces operator fatigue during extended use.
  • Extreme Temperature Tolerance: Engineered for global deployment, the throttle operates reliably from -40°C to +85°C and can be stored between -40°C and +125°C. This thermal resilience ensures dependable performance in arctic cold, desert heat, and everything in between.
  • ISO 26262 ASIL C Functional Safety: For APS Dual 5V and APS CAN sensor variants, the throttle meets ISO 26262 Part 5 requirements at ASIL C level (SEooC). This safety certification provides OEMs and system integrators with confidence in safety-critical throttle control applications.
  • Factory-Programmable Output Signals: The throttle’s output characteristics are factory-configured to customer specifications, supporting Analogue, PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), IVS (Idle Validation Switch), Current output, CAN J1939, or CANopen protocols.
  • AMP 6-Pin Connector Interface: The standard AMP 6-pin connector provides a secure, weather-resistant electrical interface. Optional connector kits and custom wire harnesses are available to simplify integration with existing vehicle or machinery wiring systems.
  • Compliance with Global Standards: The throttle meets FMVSS 124 (accelerator control systems), FMVSS 302 / ECE R118 (flammability), 72/245/EEC (EMC directive), and ECE R10.06 (electromagnetic compatibility), ensuring regulatory compliance across multiple markets.
  • Mining & Exploration Vehicles: Provides reliable remote throttle control for underground loaders, haul trucks, drilling rigs, and support vehicles operating in dust-laden, high-moisture environments where equipment durability is critical.
  • Agricultural Machinery: Enables precise engine speed management for tractors, combine harvesters, sprayers, and forage harvesters, allowing operators to maintain optimal PTO speeds and hydraulic flow during field operations.
  • Construction & Earthmoving Equipment: Suitable for excavators, wheel loaders, graders, bulldozers, and skid steers, providing auxiliary throttle control for attachments or remote engine speed adjustment from outside the cab.
  • Marine & Offshore Vessels: Ideal for workboats, crew transfer vessels, tugboats, and offshore support vessels where saltwater exposure, humidity, and washdown requirements demand high ingress protection and corrosion resistance.
  • Fire & Emergency Response Vehicles: Enables pump panel operators to control engine speed from outside the vehicle during firefighting or rescue operations, supporting applications on fire trucks, airport crash tenders, and emergency response units.
  • Industrial Generators & Stationary Engines: Provides remote speed control for standby generators, irrigation pumps, compressor packages, and other stationary engine-driven equipment where panel-mounted or remote throttle adjustment is required.
  • Specialty Mobile Equipment: Suitable for sweepers, street washers, snowplows, and utility vehicles that require auxiliary throttle control for PTO-driven attachments or hydraulic systems.

How the Electronic Hand Throttle 972 000 Series Works

The Electronic Hand Throttle 972 000 series converts mechanical lever movement into a proportional electronic signal that communicates with an engine ECU or machine control system. When the operator moves the lever through its 90-degree travel range, an internal non-contact position sensor detects the exact angular position and translates it into the selected output format—whether Analogue, PWM, or CAN J1939. This signal is transmitted via the AMP 6-pin connector to the receiving control unit, which adjusts engine RPM, hydraulic pump output, or other parameters accordingly. The lever can be set to any position within its travel range, providing infinitely variable control. In applications requiring idle validation, the IVS output confirms when the throttle is at the idle position, adding an extra layer of safety. For CAN-based systems, the throttle broadcasts engine speed requests directly onto the vehicle network using standard J1939 or CANopen protocols, enabling seamless integration with existing electronic architectures.
