9000 series-1

9000 series Inductive sensing joysticks an APEM Group Company The 9000 Series is ideal for those applications that demand proportional control with a low profile below the panel. Developed from the proven 7000 Series, the 9000 Series employs the same, highly proven, contactless, inductive sensing and circuitry. This joystick offers self-centering, omni-directional functionality, and utilizes the exclusive ‘locking cam’ system to rigidly secure the highly repeatable mechanism around the precision groundsteel operating shaft. High precision air wound coils are mounted directly onto the SMT circuitry, delivering enviable accuracy while further minimizing the installed depth of the joystick. KEY FEATURES One or two axes Signal mixing options 5 - 15V operation Optional “at center” and “internal fault” detection Dual redundant outputs. Infinite resolution Inductive sensing Consistent performance IP65 above panel Long service life Wide range of handles

9000 series-7

9000 series Inductive sensing joysticks CONFIGURATION OPTIONS CIRCUITRY The 9000 Series joystick operates by passing an oscillating current through a drive coil, directly mounted at the lower end of the operating lever, and immediately above the four sensing coils. When the shaft and drive coil moves away from the centre, the signals detected in each opposing pair of coils increase nominally in proportion to deflection. The phase of those signals determine the direction. Synchronous electronic switches followed by integrating amplifiers provide DC signals directly equivalent to those of potentiometer...
