Joystick switches
Application
Joystick switches or joysticks are manually actuated control devices for installation in control and front panels as well as in portable
control equipment. They are used wherever motion sequences analogous to the actuation direction are controlled by hand. They are
ideal for raising, lowering and triggering movements to the right and left, just to name same few possibilities.
EUCHNER joysticks are used in the steel and construction industry, in machine tools, for transport and conveyor systems, in the
system and mechanical engineering sectors and for warehousing, medical and studio technology. With the
certification, the devices are approved for use in the ship-building industry.
EUCHNER joysticks are also used for radio and cable controls, building machinery and cranes.
Design and function
Microswitches with a step function response are used as switching elements. Due to the intermittent control, a clear switching function
is given for precise control systems. Depending on the respective application, switching elements with a power rating of between 4mA
and 16A can be used. These are fixed on the mounting plate for each different series, either individually or in groups. The switching
elements are actuated by the joystick being moved out of the intermediate position. The robust levers made of stainless steel are
bedded with a hinged ball bearing that is fixed in a front plate.
