FW Murphy’s PowerView 750 display features a customizable modular design that integrates electronic engine, transmission, and machine information into an LCD flatscreen with full-color graphics. All primary components can be isolated and custom engineered, then productionalized. The display can be tailored to include up to 16 buttons, while the number of available inputs on the I/O board and the shape and color of the bezel also can be changed. Configuration software allows computer control over screen design, including logos, menus, instrument layout, and machine graphics. Users can alter more than 100 parameters and adjust the screen to include gauges, graphs, and onscreen text; can edit troubleshooting information such as diagnostic codes and assign corrective messages; and can link bitmaps to parameter data for graphic alarms.

The JHS-F single-axis, friction hold joystick joins Otto's line of switches and human-machine interface solutions for demanding applications in the construction equipment and off-road vehicle market. The JHS-F features a lever that does not return to center when released. The joystick is recommended for use in applications where output is used to control the speed and direction of the machine or mechanism, allowing the operator to set the speed of movement and focus on steering or other tasks. Offering a compact size, the JHS-F is supplied with noncontact Hall-effect sensors; electronics are sealed to IP68S to prevent failures from moisture ingression.

The Schwingmetall L-series hydromount from ContiTech is derived from a hydraulic engine mount with two working chambers.

The Schwingmetall L-series hydromount from ContiTech is derived from a hydraulic engine mount with two working chambers. A pneumatic spring replaces the standard elastomer spring, while inside the mount, a membrane separates the hydraulic unit from the air chamber. The 23.6-in (600-mm) mount is fitted with a controllable spring travel. A compressed air cushion determines the spring rate and height of the mount, making it height-adjustable. A natural frequency of 2 Hz improves cab comfort, and the air suspension permits a bearing load from 70 to 300 kg (154 to 661 lb) that is capable of suspending various cabs on off-highway and agricultural vehicles. The L-series can be operated in vehicles with an 8-bar (116-psi) onboard pressurized air compressor. The hydromount features a solid four-hole flange and an air supply on the bottom; damping behavior can be customized along certain parameters.
