MH Series Fingertip hall effect joystick

Compact fingertip joystick with contactless hall effect sensing for reliable multi-axis control in demanding industrial and mobile applications.


Key features

  • Contactless hall effect sensors per axis
  • Available in 2 or 3 axis configurations
  • Pre-programmed proportional analog output
  • Up to 5 million cycle life
  • Wide range of handle and mounting options

Performance highlights

The MH Series fingertip joystick delivers precise and repeatable multi-axis control using independent contactless hall effect sensors on each axis. This design ensures long lifetime, stable return-to-center behavior, and reliable output even in high-duty or high-magnetic-field environments.

Usage conditions

Designed for industrial and mobile equipment, the joystick operates from -18 °C to +60 °C and offers IP54 sealing above the flange depending on handle selection. The compact mechanical design supports high vertical and horizontal loads.

Possible applications

  • Measurement systems
  • Robotic systems
  • CCTV and camera positioning
  • Machine and conveyor control
  • Wheelchair and mobility control
  • High magnetic field environments

Advantages of choosing this product

The MH Series combines mechanical robustness with electrical precision. Its wide configuration options allow engineers to quickly integrate the joystick into new designs or existing systems without custom electronics.

Other important features

  • Centering spring return on all axes
  • Multiple output voltage ranges available
  • Pigtail wire termination with color coding
  • Optional buttons integrated in the handle
