A Handle range

Penny and Giles ergonomic grip with multiple buttons and proportional rocker options. This style is designed to meet the demands for more complex control systems in off-highway, specialist vehicle applications. This style is designed to meet the demands for more complex control systems in off-highway, specialist vehicle applications.

Designed to meet the demands for more complex control systems in off-highway applications, the ‘A’ range of ergonomic hand grips can be fitted with a combination of analogue outputs, push button and ‘Person Present’ switches. The handle can be specified with two independent analogue outputs generated by proportional rockers which in turn provide auxiliary directional switching in addition to the potentiometric output. When coupled with the two axis JC6000 base joystick this unit can provide a four-axis controller. This handle can also be purchased separately for fitting to customer levers or assemblies. Ask our sales team for more details on this option.

This grip can also be supplied fitted to joystick controller models JC150, JC1500, JC6000 and JC8000.

The Penny & Giles product range comprises a broad selection of joysticks, sensors and solenoids for use on commercial vehicles and industrial equipment.

The products are the legacy of the Penny & Giles company founded in 1956 and acquired by Curtiss Wright in 2002.

The present-day product range includes: linear and rotary position sensors; LVDT and RVDT transducers; joysticks; studio faders; digital panel meters; and solenoid actuators for a wide range of industrial motion control applications.

Their joystick controls are suitable for commercial vehicle applications for both on- and off-highway use. These include construction and agricultural vehicles, material handling and other specialty vehicles. They are also suitable for use with industrial equipment such as robotics. Their finger-operated joystick controllers are designed for the smooth, precise control of critical functions in a variety of industrial applications where a Human-Machine Interface (HMI) is required. They also have rugged joystick controllers are designed for the more demanding installations found within operator cabs for off-highway vehicles. A wide range of linear position sensors, tilt sensors, rotary sensors, linear displacement transducers and linear potentiometers that offer distinct advantages in reliability, stability and compactness.
