About the Large Hand Joystick 100JB

The 100JB Industrial hand joystick is designed for 3-dimensional coordinate control with X, Y and Z-axis operation. The X and Y axes use an operating lever with automatic return to center, while the Z-axis is controlled by a seesaw knob with auto-return. Conductive plastic potentiometers support smooth output and reliable signal performance.

Usage conditions

The joystick operates in temperatures from -20 °C to +65 °C and is suitable for panel mounting with a mounting panel thickness of 1 to 4 mm. It includes a dust-proof rubber cover and approx. 300 mm lead wires.

Possible applications

  • Industrial control panels
  • Machine control interfaces
  • 3-axis coordinate control
  • Operator consoles
  • Manual positioning systems

Advantages of choosing this product

The 100JB combines compact panel mounting, 3-axis operation and long mechanical life in one industrial joystick. It is suitable for applications where proportional X/Y control and additional Z-axis input are required in a single hand-operated device.

Other important features

  • X/Y lever range approx. ±20° to ±25°
  • Z-axis seesaw range approx. ±15° to ±19°
  • Life expectancy approx. 5,000,000 operations for X/Y
  • Life expectancy approx. 2,000,000 operations for Z
  • Mass approx. 410 g
  • Resolution essentially infinite
