<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a kinesthetic sense device which can be operated with a small current and gives the sense of rebounding in the reverse direction to an operating direction. SOLUTION: The device is equipped with a knob 1 as an operation member which is manually operated, a motor 9 which applies a specified restitution force against an operation force to the knob 1 according to the direction and angle of rotation of the knob 1, a speed reducing gear 8 which increases the torque of the motor 9, a driving shaft 7 which rotates by receiving the power of the motor 9 through the speed reducing gear 8, a driven shaft 2 which is provided integrally with the knob 1 and rotates by receiving the power of the driving shaft, an electromagnetic braking means, i.e., an electromagnetic clutch 4 which can connect and disconnect the driven shaft 2 and driving shaft 7 with an electromagnetic force, an encoder 3 as a detecting means of detecting the rotational angle of the knob 12, and a controller as a control means of controlling the motor 9 and electromagnetic clutch 4 according to the detection result of the encoder 3.</p> |
