Product catalog summary
General Technical Specifications: The X50 Series Optical Trackerball™ utilizes advanced infrared optical tracking technology, offering high precision and contact-less operation. It is designed for demanding cursor control applications, featuring solid-state sensing with no moving parts except the ball. The device supports various electrical outputs and is sealed to IP68 standards, making it suitable for extreme conditions and easy to clean and sterilize. It is intended for back panel mounting in OEM keyboards and consoles.
Mechanical Specifications: The device weighs 150 grams and features a 50.8 mm PROX Resin ball. It operates with a nominal tracking force of 20 grams and can withstand a maximum ball load of 200N. The resolvable ball speed is 30 inches per second. The housing is made of polycarbonate/ABS in black, and the transducer uses infrared optical navigation technology. It can be mounted at any angle and includes a cellular silicone sealing gasket.
Electrical Specifications: The supply voltage ranges from 4.4V to 5.25V D.C., with a typical supply current of 25mA. The resolution is 1200 counts per ball revolution at 1 IPS and 2400 counts at 5 IPS. The output connector is a 10-way JST header, and the device includes switch inputs for USB and PS/2 connections.
Environmental Specifications: The operating temperature range is 0°C to +55°C, with storage temperatures from -40°C to +85°C. It can operate in 93% relative humidity at 40°C and withstands vibrations and shocks as per IEC standards. The mechanical lifetime exceeds 1 million ball revolutions, with an MTBF of over 250,000 hours at 25°C.
Configuration and Features: The X50 trackball includes DIP switch settings for orientation and tracking resolution. It offers a VX3™ integrated zoom feature for scroll wheel functionality and supports both ballistic and linear tracking modes. The device can be configured for different orientations and includes a smart switch feature for button latching.
Connection Details: The device supports quadrature and PS/2-USB outputs with specific connector types and pin configurations. Optional lead assemblies are available for different connection needs.
Manufacturer and Contact Information: The X50 Series is manufactured by Cursor Controls Ltd in the UK, with European sales and service provided by NSI bvba in Belgium.
