XS Series Joystick

The APEM XS series Joystick is a two axis Hall effect joystick featuring a reduced panel height to provide precise fingertip control. Measuring in at less than 45mm, the XS series joystick allows for unimpeded access to other devices located on the control panel. This compact, low profile design located on the control panel. This compact, low profile design reduces the risk of inadvertent operation as well as damage when mounted in handheld mobile devices that are prone to accidental drops.

The XS Series Joystick includes redundant Hall effect sensors for more than 10 million operations, is IP66 above panel sealed and is considered SIL2 compatible, making it the ideal solution for outdoor application where safety is critical.

MAIN FEATURES

  • One or two axis
  • Metal mechanism
  • Analog or PWM outputs
  • Low profile, less than 45mm above panel
  • IP66 front panel sealing
