Thanks to its strong mechanical structure and advanced electronic design, this new Hall-Effect joystick is suitable for harsh environments and safety applications. The joystick’s mechanical and electrical life reaches 3 million cycles on each axis.

It is possible to customize the actuating force and the pre-feeling of each axis with the four independent plungers and springs. With the Deutsch connectors and the electronic board potted with resin, the joystick base is completely sealed (IP67/IPx9K). As an option, the electromagnetic detent of each axis is available.

With the high number of input pins, the electronic board can collect all the signals of the handle (thumbwheels, push buttons, rocker switches, etc.) and send them over the CAN network using SAE J1939, CANopen, CANopen Safety, or Isobus higher-level protocol.

The electronic board of the joystick is designed with Hardware Category 2 and is capable of reaching PL D / SIL 2 (performance level / safety integrity level).
