Rugged, Long-life Mini-joystick

Sept. 1, 2008
The J1 mini-joystick for industrial applications can be operated by thumb or fingertip actuation and is designed to be incorporated into a larger, manual joystick for secondary tasks or into a control panel with limited space. 
The J1 joystick measures just 41x41x41mm  and features reliable non-contact sensor actuation. A magnet rotates around a Hall Effect sensor, located in a sealed housing with the connector and lead wire, providing IP67 class protection. The mechanical components of the J1 meet IP56 requirements, since the encapsulation design prevents penetration by solid objects into the mechanical motion components of the joystick. The J1 is guaranteed to 2 million switching operations and operates in a range from -25ºC to +85ºC (-13ºF to +175ºF). Elobau Sensor Technology Inc.www.elobau-st.com 847.615.0828
