Title: Circular restrictors
Post by: Chris G on February 06, 2007, 01:03:47 pm: Hey gang,

I'm building my first control panel and have decided on the U360 after reading the positive feedback about them. Seems most recommend getting the longer shaft, medium spring, and circular restrictor.

I want to make sure I understand the purpose of a circular restrictor. Is it just to shorten the throw? No effect on directional functionality, correct? Any other information to help me determine whether I would want one?

Thanks!

I guess determining whether to use one or not will simply be a matter of personal preference.

Oh sure, another decision to make this even more difficult! :)

Actually, I already have a mini-PAC, so I think I can get away without the additional harness.

Throw is shorten on square restrictor in normal directions (not diagonals) than on circle restrictor.
