Description
Penny & Giles JC1500 single-axis contactless industrial joystick controller design that enables use in heavy-duty applications without compromising on smooth proportional control. The JC1500 joystick utilises contactless, position-sensor technology combined with a rugged, low-profile design.
JC1500 Single Axis contactless Industrial Joystick:
- Contactless – Hall-effect technology
- Single-axis control with spring-to-centre or friction-hold lever action
- Lock and detent features
- Choice of handles and grips
- 5Vdc or 9-30Vdc supply
- Dual-channel output with optional ramp directions
- Analogue (Vdc) or Digital (PWM) outputs
- Extremely low signal noise – less than 1m Vrms
- Operating temperature -40 to +85°C
- Environmental protection to IP69K above the panel
- 53mm under-panel depth
- Electrically interchangeable with potentiometers
The joystick provides reliable and accurate output signals – and includes a second output to enable error checking of the system integrity. The JC1500 is intended for use in the off-highway specialist vehicles market – particularly where reliability and strength are paramount e.g. aerial work platforms.
The JC1500 joystick complements the existing range of JC150 potentiometer track joysticks and has the same panel mounting details – allowing replacement or upgrade with no panel modifications. The new joystick is designed to share the same range of grips used in the JC150 and JC6000 models.
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.
