Customization in joystick controllers
We offer a comprehensive range of customizable options, allowing you to fine-tune every aspect of your joystick controller to match your exact requirements. Whether it's the sensitivity of the sensors, the actuation force of the buttons, or the ergonomic design of the handle, we ensure that your joystick controller is meticulously designed to provide the utmost precision. Depending on the application different parts can be customized such as:
- Mechanical feel: multiple sensors on the same axis
- Electrical settings: the joystick can be equipped with multiple sensors on the same axis
- Optional switches and custom electrical angles
- Output signal can be adapted from Analog to CAN-bus or J1939
- Full customization with a third axis, push buttons, rockers, deadman mechanism, and much more
Customization in position feedback sensors
Althen is your expert partner for precision potentiometers and industrial hall effect sensors for both linear and angular position feedback applications in which accuracy is key. Many of our sensors can be customized in many ways:
- The shaft of the sensor can be mechanically built to spec
- The resistance value and linearity of the potentiometer can be changed
- Multilayer potentiometers are possible (double/triple decks)
- Special dimensions for linear position sensors can be developed
- Multi-turn or single turn with extended shaft or with shafts on both ends
