New configuration options for the joystick series

APEM has introduced new configuration options for its XD series joystick comprising single axis operation, higher operating torques and dual Hall effect rollers. Complemented with the new configuration options, the series is ideal for use across a wider variety of vehicle application. Single axis joysticks are widely used in scissor and boom lift applications. Higher operating torques are common demands for construction applications including hydraulic excavators and mining vehicles. Both single axis operation and higher operating torques can be chosen from the series configuration guide. The new series can also be specified with dual HR series Hall effect thumbwheels. Employing proven non-contacting technology, the series offers precise linear voltage outputs for over five million lifecycles. Together with the primary X and Y joystick axis, the series can provide up to four axis of proportional control. Common applications include telehandler and articulated loaders. The series is rugged hand grip joystick engineered for demanding vehicle applications. Featuring non-contacting Hall effect technology to offer more than 10 million operations, the series measures only 60mm below panel yet withstands horizontal loads up to 400lbf. The result is a compact yet robust joystick perfectly suited for off-highway vehicles and machinery.
