Abstract
Device for the control of the elements of a machine having a stick (6,7) designed to be activated by one hand of an operator and mounted tilting around at least one axis (X--X) transverse to the stick. The stick is associated with at least one position sensor (17) which deliver an electric signal representing the tilting of the stick around said axis on both sides of a neutral position, the electric signal controlling at least one of the elements of the machine by a calculation device (30). The device also includes at least one torque motor (12,13) associated to said axis (X--X) so that the tilting of the stick (6,70 drives a relative rotation between the rotor and the stator of the torque motor and in that the torque motor is fed by the calculation device (30).
