CONTACTLESS JOYSTICKS - 7000 SERIES (NOW SUPERCEDED BY 9000)

Below is a summary of the 7000 Series. The 7000 Series has now been replaced by the 9000 Series and whilst the 7000 Series remains supported in production volumes, all new designs should utilise the 9000 Series.

The stainless steel and brass mechanism of the 7000 Series inductive joystick provides for the finest and most consistent performance yet, over the widest range of temperatures.

The precision ground and polished steel operating shaft pivots on stainless steel pins. The joystick is self-centering with brass bearing surfaces and has moving parts rigidly secured in the housing by the locking cam** system.

(**Worldwide patent applied for.)

High precision air-wound coils are mounted directly onto the circuitry delivering enviable accuracy whilst minimising the installed depth of joystick.

Designed for maximum operational safety, the 7000 Series is configured with 'Dual decode' as standard allowing for ‘At centre’ and ‘Internal fault’ detection without the need for additional external circuitry. 7000 Series joysticks also offer enviable EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) performance as standard.

*Subject to contract.
