Product catalog summary
Overview: The JC150 Single Axis Joystick Controller is engineered for high-demand operator control in off-highway vehicles and other interfaces. It is ideal for use in cranes, loaders, and excavators due to its robust lever strength, reliable signal, and versatile handle functionality.
Handles and Grips: The joystick can be customized with various handles and multifunction grips, including push buttons, trigger grips, and proportional rockers. Safety features include a center or end locking handle to prevent unintended movement.
Key Benefits:
  • Long-lasting and maintenance-free.
  • Durable and smooth lever operation.
  • Suitable for challenging environments.
  • User-configurable for enhanced system safety.
  • Easy and error-free installation.
Features:
  • Potentiometric sensing with options for spring to center or friction hold control.
  • High-strength lever with excellent proportional control.
  • Sealed to IP65 standards above the panel.
  • Variety of outputs and switches available.

Customization: Penny + Giles offers customization for OEMs needing specialized designs, including ergonomic grips with multiple buttons and proportional rockers.
Quality Assurance: Penny+Giles is accredited to BS EN ISO9001:2008, ensuring product reliability from design to dispatch.
Specifications:
  • Maximum height above flange: 190 mm.
  • Maximum grip diameter: 40.5 mm.
  • Environmental sealing: IP66 (IEC 60529).
  • Number of switches: 0 to 5.
  • Action: Momentary rocker or trigger.
  • Switch operating force: 5 N at 11mm radius (rocker), 3 N at center line of trigger.
  • Maximum current: 100 mA (rocker), 5 A resistive (trigger).
  • Expected life: 1 million operations (rocker), 500,000 @ 1A resistive (trigger).
  • Operating temperature: -40 to +70 ºC.
  • Storage temperature: -40 to +80 ºC.
Handle Options:
  • MG Handle Options: Various configurations with or without trigger and rocker switches.
  • A Range Handle Options: Includes momentary button and rocker options with specific electrical connections.
  • WT/WN Handle Options: Configurations with up to four rocker switches and a trigger.
Electrical Connections:
  • Common terminal for all switches is pin 16 (Black wire).
  • Specific pin numbers and wire colors are assigned for each switch and rocker position.
Ordering Codes:
  • Handles can be ordered with specific configurations of switches and rockers, denoted by codes such as WT00, WN01, etc.
  • Rocker profiles can be standard (S) or V profile (V).
Additional Information:
  • Product applications should be used for guidance only, and suitability for specific applications must be verified by the customer.
  • Specifications are subject to change due to continual research and development.

CONTROLLER HANDLE OPTIONS The HKN handle is the simplest option available for the JC150. This handle does not include any additional functionality, but is designed to allow the JC150 joystick to be controlled by the operator gripping the handle, palm downwards. Developed to improve the integrity of your control system, the Center Lock (CL) and End Lock (EL) handles provide a mechanical safety lock – eliminating unwanted movement of the lever. They mechanically hold the shaft of the JC150 in its safe central position or at either end of the JC150’s range of travel. Lifting the collar under the...
