Performance highlights

The 90JB industrial joystick is a high-reliability manual control unit designed for demanding industrial applications. The potentiometers are incorporated inside the housing, ensuring compact integration and improved mechanical protection.

The joystick is available in 2-axis (X-Y) and 3-axis (X-Y-Z) versions. The Z-axis version integrates a rotary potentiometer inside the knob with approximately 90° electrical rotation.

The conductive plastic resistive element provides ±3% independent linearity tolerance and essentially infinite resolution. Output smoothness is below 0.2% of input voltage, ensuring stable and accurate signal transmission.

With a mechanical life expectancy of approximately 5 million operations, the 90JB is suitable for continuous industrial use .

Usage conditions

• Operating temperature: -20°C to +65°C
• Vibration resistance: 10–55 Hz, 98 m/s²
• Shock resistance: 294 m/s²
• Dielectric strength: 500 VAC (1 minute)
• Insulation resistance: >1,000 MΩ at 500 VDC

The joystick includes a dust-protective rubber cover as standard in many configurations.

Possible applications:

• Industrial vehicle controls
• Crane and lifting systems
• Agricultural machinery
• Marine control panels
• Automation consoles
• Test and simulation platforms

Advantages of choosing this product

For Technical Product Engineers, the 90JB offers flexible integration and clear configuration logic through its structured model code.

Key integration advantages include:

• Multiple directional operating versions (omni, cross, square)
• Up to 6 integrated switches
• Spring return options for 1, 2 or 3 axes
• Panel mounting with M3 screws
