Datasheet

NOTES:
1. The additional center detect switch is not available on joysticks with progressive switching.
2. Guided feel is only available on two axes joysticks.
Further non-standard options including custom handles, special limiters and detents are available. Please refer to the factory.
3. Only a square limiter will allow sufficient travel in a diagonal direction to activate both speed and steer switches.
BEZEL OPTIONS
For drop in mounting, please specify bezel option 6 or 7. For sub-panel mounting, no bezel is necessary, unless the boot is
required to seal to the front face of the panel in which case option 4 should be specified.
Bezels 6 & 7 clamp the boot and top face of the joystick body to the panel when bezel 4 clamp only the boot.
SPRINGING
As standard 8000 Series are offered sprung to center. The standard spring force requires1.3N (nominally) to off-center the
joystick. The 8000 Series may be specified with a lighter spring (1N), or a stronger spring (1.6N)
Note: Forces quoted are subject to exact joystick configuration and are provided as a guide only.
1. Life and reliability of the switches is heavily determined by the type of application and parameters such as load.
The Technical Support team will provide further advice about the expected switch performance under differing loads
or DC supplies.
