Description
Penny & Giles JC400 joystick controller with analogue output offers proportional, fingertip control in up to three axes, while the JC400 with digital output option offers switched fingertip control with sequential detent feel. Developed for use in applications where compact size and functionality are important.
MAIN FEATURES of the JC400 Fingertip Joystick:
- Single-, dual- or three-axis operation
- Choice of mounting flanges
- Sealed to IP65 above the flange
- Range of ergonomic handle designs
- Lever-gate profile and lever-spring strength options
- Superb proportional control with analogue and switched outputs
- Choice of track resistance values and output ranges
- Digital (switched) output option with detent mechanism.
- Long operational life
The JC400 range of ergonomic grips feature rotary-operated potentiometers or switches for a third axis of control, or ‘Person Present’ switches that can be used to improve the integrity of your control system.
Installation flexibility has been provided by using different forms of mounting flanges independent of the function of the joystick. The analogue track models are supplied with side-exit cables to minimise the required under-panel depth, while the digital output option is supplied with standard electronic connectors on the joystick base.
The JC400 has been designed for maintenance-free operation throughout an operating life of greater than five million operations.
Typical applications include remote-control chest packs, CCTV camera controls and the operator controls in construction, agricultural or material handling equipment.
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.
