- Mechanical feel; high torque, center detent mechanism.
- Electrically the joystick can be equipped with multiple sensors on the same axis.
- Optional switches and custom electrical angles can be chosen
- Output signal can be adapted to the wishes of the customer; from Analog to CAN-bus or J1939.
- The joystick handle can be fully customized with a third axis, push buttons, rockers, deadman mechanism, and much more.
Custom feedback position sensors
Althen is your expert partner for precision potentiometers and industrial hall effect sensors for both linear and angular position feedback applications in which accuracy is key. Many of our sensors can be customized in many ways:
- The shaft of the sensor can be mechanically built to spec
- The resistance value and linearity of the potentiometer can be changed
- Multilayer potentiometers are possible (double/triple decks)
- Special dimensions for linear position sensors can be developed
- Multi-turn or single turn with extended shaft or with shafts on both ends
