JC1200 Hall Effect Paddle Joystick

The JC1200 is a stylish, non-contacting paddle joystick offering precise fingertip control.

  • Robust design for arduous applications
  • Return-to-Centre or return-to-end options
  • Under the panel depth minimised to 9mm
  • Rated for 40 million cycles
  • Hall-effect sensor technology
  • Dual output with sense and voltage span options
  • IP67 sealing above panel
  • Colour-coded ‘Tab’ options
  • Can be supplied as ‘base-only’ so the coloured tabs can be fitted at final installation

The new joystick utilises non-contacting hall-effect sensing technology for long-life integrity of the output signal. Operating feel has been an important part of this new development to make this unit as smooth and easy to operate as possible throughout the 40 million cycle life.

Hall-effect sensing eliminates contact wear and provides safety functionality via dual outputs, which can be set to positive or negative ramps, or a combination of both . Electronic robustness is assured with sealing of the internal PCB to a rating of IP65, while a joystick to panel rating of IP67 can be achieved.

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.
