A Handle range
Penny and Giles ergonomic grip with multiple buttons and proportional rocker options.
Designed to meet the demands for more complex control systems in off-highway applications, the ‘A’ range of ergonomic hand grips can be fitted with a combination of analogue outputs, push button and ‘Person Present’ switches. The handle can be specified with two independent analogue outputs generated by proportional rockers which in turn provide auxiliary directional switching in addition to the potentiometric output. When coupled with the two axis JC6000 base joystick this unit can provide a four-axis controller.
This grip can also be supplied fitted to joystick controller models of JC150, JC1500, JC6000 and JC8000. This handle can also be purchased separately, for fitting to the users levers or assemblies. Contact our sales team for further information.
