Analog instrumentation remains the most widely used and preferred method of displaying automobile data to the driver. This is due to their simple function and ability to be adapted to many different styles. Even expensive automobile models that essentially have an unlimited instrumentation budget commonly choose analog gauges. Future requirements for instruments will unquestionably include analog gauges. A need is seen for new technology to help control the rising costs of instrument clusters and promote a simpler more flexible design concept. The Micro-Miniature Analog Meter Movement is a small, simple and low cost device that has a deterministic input/output relationship. The mechanism is capable of being automatically handled and assembled by standard electronic placement machines, thereby eliminating continual capital investiment in specialized assembly line equipment. Significant size reductions in electro-mechanical instrumentation are enabled by this device, including multigauge analog Heads-Up-Displays.
