9000 Series Fingertip Joystick – Inductive

The 9000 Series is ideal for those applications that demand proportional control with the lowest possible profile below the panel. This joystick offers self-centering, omni-directional functionality, and utilizes the exclusive ‘locking cam’ system to rigidly secure the highly repeatable mechanism around the precision ground steel operating shaft. High precision air wound coils are mounted directly onto the SMT circuitry, delivering enviable accuracy whilst further minimising the installed depth of the joystick.

MAIN FEATURES

  • Progressive switching
  • One or two axis
  • Signal mixing options
  • 5 – 15V operation
  • Optional “at centre” and “internal fault” detection
  • Dual redundant outputs
  • Infinite resolution
  • Inductive sensing
