Do you mean a stick-pusher? Or a stick-shaker? They are two different things.

Incidentally, a poster earlier asked about the manufacturer of the 737 NG/Max AoA probe. I don't recall the question being answered.

Like the probes on many commercial airliners (not just Boeings), it's made by Rosemount, later part of Goodrich, subsequently absorbed into Collins Aerospace and nowadays part of United Technologies. So you are likely to see any of those names quoted as the manufacturer, depending on chronology.
