DSM Stanyl high performance PA46 is used in the production of Joysteer, a joystick-based car steering system for drivers with arm muscle disabilities. Developed at Bern University for Applied Sciences, Joysteer augments the conventional steering wheel with a pair of joysticks mounted one on each side of the wheel.
These are electronically coupled to the vehicle's steering system. Mikron Plastics Technologies moulds the precision gears employed and chose Stanyl because of its dimensional stability, low friction and ability to absorb vibration and noise.
Gear sets in both joysticks and the motor drives have zero backlash to ensure high precision for encoding …
