AMI Ergonomic Multifunction Grip
The AMI Ergonomic Multifunction Grip is an advanced component for hydraulic directional control valves. Designed to maximize control, the range includes standard models and the oversized version. Equipped with metric mounting adapters, it supports a wide range of integrated controls such as push buttons, rocker switches, proportional rollers, and status LEDs. An option with a safety trigger switch is available to prevent accidental actuations. The available product codes (model families) are: AMI COBRA, AMI COBRA BIG.
The AMI Ergonomic Multifunction Grip represents a top-level technical solution in the field of accessories for hydraulic directional control valves. Developed for integration on hydraulic control systems, this grip is designed to maximize precision and ergonomics for the operator. The design complies with the strict technical specifications of the hydraulic sector, offering a firm grip and immediate access to all control functions provided by the circuit.
The product range is mainly divided into two dimensional and functional variants: the standard AMI COBRA model and the oversized AMI COBRA BIG version. Both models of the AMI Ergonomic Multifunction Grip are developed to ensure an optimized human-machine interface. The design features specific inclinations, such as the 15-degree angle noticeable on the technical drawings of the standard model, which accommodates the natural posture of the hand during prolonged actuation of the directional control valve levers. The overall height of the devices varies based on the configuration: the AMI COBRA model has height dimensions of 183 mm and 187 mm depending on the mounting adapter used, while the width footprint of the AMI COBRA BIG model reaches 107 mm for the upper section of the grip, providing a large surface for the controls.
The AMI Ergonomic Multifunction Grip stands out for its modular and configurable nature. Analyzing the specifications of the AMI COBRA BIG model reveals the possibility of integrating a wide range of electronic control and signaling components directly on the central body. Among the installable elements we find:
Furthermore, to ensure the highest operational safety standards, an optional safety trigger switch is available. This component is strategically positioned in the lower area of the grip to prevent accidental or unauthorized actuations of the directional control valve.
A crucial aspect of the AMI Ergonomic Multifunction Grip is its installation versatility, supported by a dedicated series of mounting adapters. Mechanical connections to the directional control valve lever are made via standard metric threads for the sector. Specifically, the connection interfaces provide M10x1.5 female threaded connections for the AMI COBRA versions, with variable diameter couplings, such as Ø16 mm and Ø20 mm, to adapt to different types of rods. The AMI COBRA BIG version uses an M10 threaded connection, supported by a base flange with a Ø12.5 mm hole and an R15 fillet radius. These engineering details ensure rigid fastening, essential for the exact transmission of mechanical movement from the operator’s hand to the directional control valve spool.
