JOYSTICK CONTROLLER

INNOVATION IN MOTION The JC6000 rugged joystick controller is designed for demanding operator control applications in off-highway vehicles and other man-machine interfaces, where strength, reliability, and handle functionality are important. Available in one or two axis configurations, this joystick can be supplied with non-contact Hall effect sensors or long life potentiometer tracks. The JC6000’s compact size, high lever strength and superb proportional control are ideal for applications which include operator controls on a wide range of off-highway vehicles, including cranes, loaders,...

JOYSTICK CONTROLLER Total reliability The JC6000 includes lever mechanics designed to give smooth proportional control, with Hall effect sensors that provide contactless, long life operation up to 15 million operations. Alternative potentiometer tracks featuring multi-fingered precious metal wipers give low electrical noise and a long life of greater than 5 million operations. Safety The JC6000 with the Hall sensors option has dual outputs fitted as standard, allowing the signals to be monitored and compared for failure detection in safety critical applications. Additional independent...
