MTW10 series Thumbwheel joystick
Compact single-axis thumbwheel joystick with spring return and non-contact Hall effect technology. Designed for reliable proportional control in industrial remote controllers and control panels.
Key features
- Compact thumb-operated design
- Single-axis spring return
- Non-contact Hall effect sensing
- Service life over 3 million cycles
- 5 Vdc or 9–32 Vdc supply options
- IP68S protection for electronics
Performance highlights
The Mtw10 series thumbwheel provides precise single-axis proportional control in a compact panel-mounted format. Its non-contact Hall effect technology reduces mechanical wear and supports a long service life of more than 3 million cycles. The ±30° travel angle and 2–3 N operating force make it suitable for comfortable thumb operation in control panels and remote controllers.
Usage conditions
The thumbwheel operates from -30°C to +70°C and can be stored from -40°C to +85°C. Depending on the selected model, it supports 5 Vdc or 9–32 Vdc supply voltage and multiple ratiometric output options, including redundant output versions.
Possible applications
- Industrial remote controllers
- Control panels
- Armrest control modules
- Operator interfaces
- Compact machine control systems
Advantages of choosing this product
The Mtw10 series is a practical choice for engineers who need a compact, durable and easy-to-integrate thumbwheel control. The spring-return mechanism supports intuitive operation, while Hall effect sensing improves reliability compared with contacting technologies.
