Fingertip Joystick 842

Description Fingertip Joystick 842

Robust potentiometric joystick in a variety of designs - compact but flexible

• Very robust potentiometric finger joystick with metal mechanics
• Wide range of handles
• Protection up to IP65 above panel
• Inherently robust towards electromagnetic interference
• Custom versions possible with friction brake for one axis, spring return for the second axis
• Microswitches for detecting the central position/deflection optional
• Customer-specific billet shapes, bellows and sensors on request

Inherently RFI/EMC immune and most flexible in its class

The 842 series joysticks offer features normally found only in larger joystick models, despite being a very compact finger joystick. Of particular note is the ability to configure the axes independently and the option of a friction clutch in the X and/or Y axis.
The series is equipped with potentiometers, as potentiometers are still the best choice when EMI/RFI resistance requirements are very high. The joysticks are available with up to 2 axes and feature a robust metal mechanical mechanism. 
The variety of handle shapes allows the optimum product to be selected for the application. A special feature is the option for microswitches when the open frame version is selected.

• Potentiometers available in rail-to-rail configuration (full angle) or with partial angle output
• Alternative to Hall effect joysticks due to inherent immunity to electromagnetic interference
