Product description: Finger Joystick 842

Inherently RFI/EMC immune and most flexible in its class

The 842 series joysticks offer features normally found only in larger joystick models, despite being a very compact finger joystick. Of particular note is the ability to configure the three axes independently and the option of a friction clutch in the X and/or Y axis.
The series is equipped with potentiometers, as potentiometers are still the best choice when EMI/RFI resistance requirements are very high. The joysticks are available with up to 3 axes and feature a robust metal mechanical mechanism. This allows the return characteristics of the X and Y axes to be varied, for example by using a stronger or weaker spring or by using a friction clutch.
The variety of handle shapes allows the optimum product to be selected for the application. A special feature is the option for microswitches when the open frame version is selected.

  • Potentiometers available in rail-to-rail configuration (full angle) or with partial angle output
  • Alternative to Hall effect joysticks due to inherent immunity to electromagnetic interference
