Detent Mechanism  (available on open type only)

   

Machined cam with notches, locations specified by user, rides along spring loaded bearing. When notch and bearing align a distinct tactile feedback is produced. For spring return models, detent force is sufficient to maintain handle position. 3 detents per axis maximum.
