  • TS1 Dual-Axis Mini Thumb Joystick

Ts1 series mini joystick

Compact two-axis thumb joystick designed for precise proportional control in demanding industrial and mobile applications. Ideal for OEM integration where reliability, sealing, and smooth operation are critical.


Key features

  • Contactless hall effect sensing
  • Compact two-axis proportional control
  • IP67 sealing above panel
  • Multiple mounting options
  • Analog, usb or cursor output
  • Long mechanical lifetime

Performance highlights

The Ts1 series mini joystick uses contactless hall effect technology to deliver accurate, repeatable proportional control with excellent return-to-center characteristics. Its 12-bit resolution (analog version) ensures smooth and precise signal output, even in fine control applications.

Usage conditions

Designed for harsh environments, the joystick operates reliably between -40 °C and +85 °C. With IP67 sealing above the panel and high resistance to shock, vibration, EMC and ESD, it is well suited for heavy-duty machinery and outdoor use.

Possible applications

  • Maritime and offshore deck machinery
  • Agricultural vehicles and implements
  • Lifting and hoisting equipment
  • Industrial remote controls
  • Armrest and operator control panels

Advantages of choosing this product

The Ts1 series combines compact design with flexible configuration options. Multiple actuator styles, mounting variants and output signals allow OEMs to integrate the joystick quickly without redesigning panels or electronics.

Other important features

  • Centering spring return
  • Optional pushbutton function
  • USB HID and cursor control options
  • Plastic or metal housing variants
