JC1500 Single Axis Contactless Joystick

A single-axis, joystick controller design that enables use in heavy-duty applications without compromising on smooth proportional control. The JC1500 joystick utilises contactless, position-sensor technology combined with a rugged, low-profile design.

  • Contactless – Hall-effect technology
  • Single-axis control with spring-to-centre or friction-hold lever action
  • Lock and detent features
  • Choice of handles and grips
  • 5Vdc or 9-30Vdc supply
  • Dual-channel output with optional ramp directions
  • Analogue (Vdc) or Digital (PWM) outputs
  • Extremely low signal noise – less than 1m Vrms
  • Operating temperature -40 to +85°C
  • Environmental protection to IP69K above the panel
  • 53mm under-panel depth
  • Electrically interchangeable with potentiometers

The joystick provides reliable and accurate output signals – and includes a second output to enable error checking of the system integrity. The JC1500 is intended for use in the off-highway specialist vehicles market – particularly where reliability and strength are paramount e.g. aerial work platforms.

The JC1500 joystick complements the existing range of JC150 potentiometer track joysticks and has the same panel mounting details – allowing replacement or upgrade with no panel modifications. The new joystick is designed to share the same range of grips used in the JC150 and JC6000 models.

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.
