Artificial feel

The simple old system basically inducted pitot pressure into a bellows that mechanically moved a control rod to limit the allowable movement of the flight control system.

Some systems use output data off the ADC and have electro-mechanical devices to limit flight control movement.

In the modern jet, a flight control computer receives DADC data used for limiting movement. Sorry no pics, most control rods would be made of an aluminum alloy.
