F-SERIES MEDICAL ANALOG JOYSTICK CTI’s OEM F-Series medical joysticks use a non-contacting inductive sensor technology, providing superior reliability over potentiometer, hall-effect, or contacting based technologies. Potentiometer and contacting sensors inherently breakdown over time with usage, while hall-effect sensors change over time creating drifting issues. The inductive sensor design is free of those debilitating physical limitations, as well as immunity to changes in temperature or humidity. The inductive sensor only susceptibility is to extraneous high EMI/RFI signals which are mitigated by the use of a conductive boot and ferrite bead to provide an effective shield. The NEMA 4 (IP66) sealing F-Series analog medical joysticks are most suitable for critical applications requiring high durability (10M+ cycles), high availability (99.999% uptime), and/or high reliability (extreme operating temperatures, exposure to harsh climate conditions or solid and liquid contaminants). Its compact size minimizes below depth panel area by usage of an external analog PCB which provides a high precision proportional analog output voltage. The modular sub-assembly design means that a tailored joystick can be rapidly and cost effectively manufactured in low volume. Manufacturing options offer protection against operation in extreme temperature ranges, rapid changes in temperature causing condensation or high humidity, protection against high vibration, EMI/RFI signals, and a separate autonomous signal is available as an open or short circuit safety indicator. The combination of these options allows for a varied high product ratio mix which meets industry standards specifications including aerospace, military, marine, medical, and transportation. • High Precision proportional analog output voltage • One momentary button • Single Axis or Two Axes Analog Joystick • External Analog PCB - Improves reliability and eliminates drifting or “in-service” recalibration issues. • Deadband at Center (+/- 1° to 2°) • Movement Spring Return (Friction Held - Special Order) • Operating Temperature 0°C to 80°C (0°F to 176°F) • White FDA Silicone Boot - NEMA 4 (IP66) sealing Operation in harsh environmental conditions • Parylene Coated boot and handle - toughest molecular barrier protection • Non-contacting inductive sensor technology allows high reliability (99.999%) and durability (10,000,000+ random deflections) • Brass Threaded Inserts (#4-40 or 3mm) gurantees sealing rating without concern of breakage due to over torquing F-SERIES MEDICAL HANDLES / KNOBS N2W | N24W N3W | N33W F-SERIES MEDICAL MANUFACTURING OPTIONS D Operating Temperature Range -40˚C to +80˚C (Standard 0˚C to +80˚C) Conformal Coating of PCB (protects electronic components against condensation) Ferrite Bead (EMI/RFI Protection - ONLY used if joystick is mounted in a metal enclosure) Optical Neutral “Safety” Switch (Electrical indicator of an Open or Short Circuit typically used in Motion Control Applications) Maximum Compression Spring (typically used in Mobile Applications) No Deadband at Center (greater control via software algorithm is required) *For complete ordering information please refer to Technical Drawing 761839 F1000-N33W MEDICAL TECHNICAL DRAWING F-SERIES JOYSTICK PATENTS U.S.A.
