Description
Curtiss Wright’s Penny & Giles JC1210 Hall Effect Paddle Joystick builds on the success of their industrial joystick range and the JC1200 and incorporates the same robust design with exceptional life and now offers the option of overpress and latch features at the ends of travel.
JC1210 Hall Effect Paddle Joystick features:
- Robust design for arduous applications
- Options for Overpress and Latch at ends of travel
- Soft Touch sections of the ‘Tab’
- Under-panel depth minimised to 9 mm – Molex connector
- Three electrical termination options
- Rated for 5 million cycles up to start of overpress
- Hall-effect sensor technology
- Dual outputs with sense and voltage span options
- IP67 sealing above panel
- Two mounting panel fixing options in the one body design
- Colour-coded ‘Tab’ options
This new joystick utilises non-contacting, Hall-effect sensing technology for long-life integrity of the output signal. Operating feel has been an important part of this new development to make this unit as smooth and easy to operate as possible throughout a 5 million cycle-life to the start of overpress.
Hall-effect sensing eliminates contact wear and provides safety functionality via dual outputs, which can be set to positive or negative ramps, or a combination of both. Electronic robustness is assured with sealing of the internal PCB to a rating of IP67, while a joystick to panel rating of IP67 can be achieved.
The joystick is available with Overpress and Latch options at the ends of travel, which can be combined to meet your system needs to hold functions at full speed/float.
There are three options for electrical termination – integrated Molex connector, flying lead with Molex connector or header pins.
A soft-touch coloured insert area of the paddle – which has a choice of nine colours – increases operator comfort and decreases the likelihood of finger-slip during operation.
The Penny & Giles product range comprises a broad selection of joysticks, sensors and solenoids for use on commercial vehicles and industrial equipment.
The products are the legacy of the Penny & Giles company founded in 1956 and acquired by Curtiss Wright in 2002.
The present-day product range includes: linear and rotary position sensors; LVDT and RVDT transducers; joysticks; studio faders; digital panel meters; and solenoid actuators for a wide range of industrial motion control applications.
Their joystick controls are suitable for commercial vehicle applications for both on- and off-highway use. These include construction and agricultural vehicles, material handling and other specialty vehicles. They are also suitable for use with industrial equipment such as robotics. Their finger-operated joystick controllers are designed for the smooth, precise control of critical functions in a variety of industrial applications where a Human-Machine Interface (HMI) is required. They also have rugged joystick controllers are designed for the more demanding installations found within operator cabs for off-highway vehicles. A wide range of linear position sensors, tilt sensors, rotary sensors, linear displacement transducers and linear potentiometers that offer distinct advantages in reliability, stability and compactness.
