Product Details

I. Product Overview

The Lilaas LF70L-01-97 is an azimuth control lever from the LF70 series manufactured by Lilaas AS, Norway, used for controlling azimuth thrusters (steerable propellers) of vessels, providing dual-axis control of thruster speed (RPM) and azimuth angle.

Lilaas AS is a world leading manufacturer of various types of control levers and joysticks for marine and offshore use, headquartered in Horten, Norway. Its product range includes single-axis control levers, hand wheels, rudder controls, azimuth control units and multi-axis joysticks, widely applied for propulsion control of various vessels from small fishing boats and ferries, via supply vessels to large tankers and cruise ships. Lilaas products are certified by DNV, and the company is certified under NS-EN ISO 9001:2008.

The LF70 azimuth control lever is manufactured with high-quality materials and precision design, featuring robust construction and minimum maintenance. The lever provides two-axis control: RPM handle movement ±60° and azimuth handle 360° continuous rotation, with built-in potentiometers outputting control signals to the propulsion control system. The product features protection class IP66 and integrated illuminated scales, suitable for demanding bridge environments, and has passed multiple classification society type approvals.

VII. FAQ

Q1: What is LF70L-01-97 and where is it used?

A: LF70L-01-97 is an LF70 series azimuth control lever from Lilaas, Norway, used for controlling azimuth thrusters (steerable propellers) of vessels. The lever simultaneously controls thruster speed (RPM) and azimuth angle, widely applied for propulsion control of fishing boats, ferries, supply vessels, tankers, cruise ships and other vessels.

Q2: What are the electrical output signals of this control lever?

A: The lever features dual potentiometer outputs: a single 5kΩ linear potentiometer for RPM and a single 5kΩ sine/cosine potentiometer for Azimuth. The potentiometers are plastic conductive type, to be used as voltage dividers, with wiper current not exceeding 1mA. Outputs connect to the propulsion control system via a 16-pin connector with plug.

Q3: What is the protection class and operating movement of this lever?

A: Protection class is IP66, dust-proof and waterproof. RPM handle movement is ±60° (electrical travel 245°), and azimuth handle allows 360° continuous rotation (electrical travel 360°). Detents are provided at RPM zero position and every 90° for azimuth.
