A contact control device (100) includes a disturbance correction timing control unit (42) that selectively outputs a first reference speed signal indicating a first reference speed or a second reference speed signal indicating a second reference speed lower than the first reference speed. When a movable part (12) comes closer to a second component (B) beyond a first reference position between a fixed part (11) and the second component (B), the disturbance correction timing control unit (42) switches its output signal from the first reference speed signal to the second reference speed signal and switches a gain in proportional compensation from a first gain to a second gain lower than the first gain.

The application relates to a haptic system comprising a haptic device that has an end effector terminal and a transmission structure which can generate a translational movement as an output variable, said translational movement extending from the transmission structure to the end effector terminal via a boom such that the end effector terminal moves in a manner that is perceptible to a user, the transmission structure being formed by means of driven linear shafts. The application further relates to a method for operating a haptic system comprising a haptic device.
