Description
Curtiss Wright’s Penny & Giles JC120 Single axis Fingertip Joystick is developed for applications where ergonomics and system integrity are paramount, the JC120 is a minimum-width, low-profile industrial joystick controller that provides smooth, precise fingertip control in one axis with a choice of two lever length.
JC120 Single Axis Fingertip joystick features:
- Width only 26.5mm
- Low-profile ergonomic design
- Choice of lever heights
- Centre-return spring mechanism
- Sealed to IP67 with optional neoprene boot for aggressive particle protection
- Choice of track resistance values and output ranges
- Standard Molex automotive connector
The JC120 is sealed to IP66 to enable it to operate in extreme environments. Standing only 54mm or 64mm high, the JC120 is less susceptible to unintentional operation. With all of the components contained within the paddle, it is ideal for mounting in low-profile panels and arm rests.
Installation time has been reduced through the use of a standard 7-pin Molex electronic connector, and the joystick has been designed for maintenance-free operation throughout on operating life of greater than five million operations.
An optional neoprene boot is available for the short-handle version, allowing operation in environments where aggressive materials are present, protecting from dust and dirt ingress.
Typical applications include remote-control chest packs and the control of construction, agricultural or material handling equipment.
The Penny & Giles product range comprises a broad selection of joysticks, sensors and solenoids for use on commercial vehicles and industrial equipment.
The products are the legacy of the Penny & Giles company founded in 1956 and acquired by Curtiss Wright in 2002.
The present-day product range includes: linear and rotary position sensors; LVDT and RVDT transducers; joysticks; studio faders; digital panel meters; and solenoid actuators for a wide range of industrial motion control applications.
Their joystick controls are suitable for commercial vehicle applications for both on- and off-highway use. These include construction and agricultural vehicles, material handling and other specialty vehicles. They are also suitable for use with industrial equipment such as robotics. Their finger-operated joystick controllers are designed for the smooth, precise control of critical functions in a variety of industrial applications where a Human-Machine Interface (HMI) is required. They also have rugged joystick controllers are designed for the more demanding installations found within operator cabs for off-highway vehicles. A wide range of linear position sensors, tilt sensors, rotary sensors, linear displacement transducers and linear potentiometers that offer distinct advantages in reliability, stability and compactness.
