TC10 series Single axis thumb joystick

Compact thumb-operated joystick for precise single-axis control in industrial remote controllers and control panels. Designed for Technical Product Engineers who need reliable Hall effect sensing, spring return operation and flexible voltage/output options.


Key features

  • Compact thumb-operated design
  • Spring return mechanism
  • Non-contacting Hall effect sensor
  • 5 million cycle service life
  • 5 Vdc or 9–32 Vdc supply options
  • IP67 protection for electronic part

Performance highlights

The Tc10 series single axis joystick is a compact Hall effect joystick designed for reliable proportional control in industrial applications. Its non-contacting sensing technology supports long service life and stable output performance, while the spring return function helps operators return safely to the centre position after use. The datasheet specifies a travel angle of ±30°, 2.4–5.8 N operating force and 5 million cycle service life.

Usage conditions

The joystick operates from -20 °C to +70 °C and can be stored from -40 °C to +85 °C. Depending on configuration, it supports either 5.0 ±0.5 Vdc or 9–32 Vdc supply voltage. The electronic part is specified with IP67 protection, although IP ratings may vary by model.

Possible applications

  • Industrial remote controllers
  • Control panels
  • Compact operator interfaces
  • Mobile machinery controls
  • OEM control modules

Advantages of choosing this product
