JC150 SINGLE AXIS JOYSTICK CONTROLLER Innovation In Motion

INNOVATION IN MOTION The JC150 single-axis joystick controller is designed for demanding operator control applications in off-highway vehicles and other man-machine interfaces, where lever strength, signal reliability, and handle functionality are important. The joystick is supplied with a long life conductive plastic potentiometer track and directional/center off or end switches to provide signals for sensing lever direction and fault detection. The JC150’s compact size, high lever strength and superb proportional control are ideal for applications which include operator controls on a wide...

JOYSTICK CONTROLLER Total reliability The JC150 includes lever mechanics designed to give smooth proportional control, and has been designed to withstand a load on the handle up to 300N, measured 135mm above the panel. Conductive plastic potentiometer tracks featuring multi-fingered precious metal wipers give low electrical noise and a working life greater than 2 million operations with zero maintenance during this period. Safety Designed to interface with an electronic controller, the long-life potentiometer track generates analog outputs with switched reference signals that are...

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...
