Zusammenfassung:A spring-return-to-null assembly, which may be used with various types of hand controllers or other human-machine interfaces, includes a cantilever spring (202) and a pivot assembly (106). The cantilever spring (202) is adapted to be coupled to a shaft and is configured to supply a torque thereto. The pivot assembly (106) engages the cantilever spring (202) and is configurable to exhibit either equal or dual spring rates, depending on the direction in which the torque is supplied to the shaft.
