Robust JC3000 joystick provides finger-tip control
A Penny + Giles product story
Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Jul 24, 2009
Penny and Giles has brought out the robust finger-tip JC3000 joystick controller, which is suitable for applications such as radio remote controls and general off-highway vehicle applications.
The joystick comes with a range of user-defined features, enabling OEMs to integrate it with safe and reliable control systems.
Penny + Giles has launched its new robust, finger-tip JC3000 joystick controller.
The JC3000 joystick controller has been designed for applications requiring fingertip control, where strength and reliability are important.
It is made mostly of cast metal components, providing a long operational life.
It can be specified as a dual or single-axis controller and features optional mechanical detents in both axes, allowing operators to easily determine the angular position of the joystick lever.
The JC3000 is available with up to five switched outputs per half axis, or with an analogue potentiometer output with switched centre or directional signals.
With the switched option, the outputs relate to the mechanical detents on the joystick and the switches activate sequentially as the joystick lever is operated from centre to the end stop in all directions.
The joystick is simple to adapt into OEM systems, having been designed to easily fit inside enclosures and control panels.
It offers IP66 protection above the mounting flange for protection against the ingress of dust and liquids.
The joystick lever can accommodate a choice of many different handle types, allowing the controller to be tailored further.
If customer-specific handle shapes or designs are preferred, a 'no handle' version can be selected with either a plain or threaded operating rod as a means of interfacing with the joystick.
