Abstract
A device for actuating in rotation a mechanism and control stick incorporating the device, which includes, elastic means for applying to a control shaft (10) a reaction torque having a magnitude which is a function of the angle of rotation of the shaft comprise a cam follower structure (18, 24) which is slidably mounted on a reaction lever (22) having an axis Z--Z perpendicular to the control shaft (10) and which is elastically slidably biased so as to cooperate with a confronting cam profile (16) formed on a reaction member (42) relative to which the cam follower structure (24, 18) is moved when the control shaft (10) is rotated, the cam profile (16) extending in a plane perpendicular to the control shaft (10).
