JC050 Hall effect Roller Joystick

The JC050 is a roller for use in joystick grips and other in-cab human-machine interfaces.

  • Robust design for arduous applications
  • Return-to-centre
  • Optional level actuator profile
  • Low under -panel depth of 23mm
  • Hall-effect sensor technology
  • Rated for 3 million cycles of life
  • Dual-redundant electronic architecture
  • Outputs with sense and voltage span options
  • Dual supply to ensure a high level of signal integrity
  • Designed to allow contamination (liquid or dust) to pass through the mechanism without causing any damage
  • Electronics sealed to IP67

A robust, return-to-centre mechanism provides movement over a range of ±37º with the thumbwheel having an option of a lever profile to ease operation. A compact mechanical design means the required under-panel space is just 23mm.

The roller utilises non-contacting, hall-effect sensing technology that eliminates contact wear and provides for long-life integrity of the output signal, giving rise to a minimum operating life of 3 million cycles.

Safety is enhanced via a fully dual-redundant electronic architecture made up of two power supplies and two sensing circuits. The outputs of which can be set to positive or negative ramps or a combination of both. Electronic robustness is assured with the enclosure sealing rated to both IP67.

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.
