HI Handle

The HI Grip which is available as a left or right hand option, offers a wide range of proportional, non-contacting roller and high-life, push button switch combinations. Whereas most competitive products can support just three roller functions, the HI Grip can accommodate up to four.

  • Ergonomic design with left and right options
  • Front panel combinations including three rollers or up to eight switches
  • Rear panel combinations of one roller or up to two switches
  • Multi-colour options for rollers and switches
  • 16 logo options for switches
  • Available pre-fitted to JC6000 or JC8000, or as a stand alone grip
  • Robust design for arduous applications
  • Sealed to IP67t
  • EMC performance to 150V/m
  • MTTFD > 900 years

A contoured front panel means the rollers are within an easy sweep of an operator’s thumb, while the switch arrays are angled to allow for similarly convenient actuation.

The controls on the rear panel are situated to provide

comfortable operation with a first finger. To further enhance operator comfort, both handed options are oriented to lean forward and inwards.
For maximum, application-specific flexibility, each roller and switch is offered in nine colour options. Further customisation is possible by a choice of 16 logos which can be printed in each of the switches.

In addition to being supplied fitted to a JC6000 or JC8000 joystick, the HI Grip can be supplied as a stand-alone product with an industry-standard, threaded mount and flying leads.

Careful material selection ensures maximum robustness to impact, liquids and dust, with the enclosure being sealed to IP67. An EMC performance level of 150V/m is provided and the overall design achieves an MTTFD in excess of 900 years.

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.
