JC3000 Finger Operated Joystick Controller

Product catalog summary
Overview
The JC3000 Finger Operated Joystick Controller is engineered for precise control in demanding environments such as remote control chestpacks and industrial vehicles. It offers both single and dual-axis control with options for potentiometer tracks or switched output signals.
Specifications
  • Control Options: Available in single or dual-axis configurations.
  • Sensing: Potentiometric or switched options.
  • Lever Strength: Capable of withstanding a 900N downward static load and up to 20Nm overload.
  • Life Span: Exceeds 5 million operations.
  • Environmental Protection: Sealed to IP66 above the panel.
Design and Installation
The joystick features a low profile and short lever height, facilitating side-by-side mounting. It uses a 12-way Hirose connector for straightforward installation. The joystick is mounted from below the panel through a 50.75/51.00mm hole, requiring a rigid surface for effective sealing. Recommended panel thickness is 3.5 to 6mm, with a screw torque of 1Nm.
Reliability and Features
Constructed with cast metal components, the JC3000 ensures smooth proportional control and long life with minimal maintenance. It offers long life, maintenance-free operation, rugged and smooth lever movement, and customization for system safety and additional control functions.
Compliance and Quality Assurance
The product complies with EMC Directive 2004/108/EC and is manufactured under BS EN ISO9001:2008 standards.
Sensing Options
  • Potentiometric Sensing: Provides analog outputs proportional to lever movement, suitable for fault detection circuits, and resistant to electromagnetic interference.
  • Switched Output: Offers 3, 4, or 5 switches per axis, with mechanical detents for easy angular position determination.
Customization and Performance
Penny + Giles offers standard and custom joystick configurations to meet specific customer needs. Performance options include single-axis (forward/backward or right/left), dual-axis, and various lever ranges. Analog potentiometers are available with different resistances and directional switches. Switched tracks offer multiple switch configurations.
Mechanical and Environmental Specifications
  • Lever Torque: Breakout torque of 0.2 Nm, operating torque of 0.6 Nm.
  • Operating Angle: ±31° max in X and Y directions.
  • Expected Life: Over 5 million operations.
  • Weight: 205g without handle.
  • Operating Temperature: -25 to +75°C.
  • Storage Temperature: -40 to +85°C.
Electrical Specifications
  • Analog Track: Virtually infinite resolution, track resistance options.
  • Switch Track: 3, 4, or 5 positions per side, with center off switch.
Handle Options
Several handle styles are available, including plain lever, threaded lever, tapered handle, ball handle, low profile fluted handle, and handles with momentary push buttons or switch actions. Handles like ZC1 and ZCS offer IP65 and IP66 sealing, respectively, with specific switch operating forces and electrical life expectancies.

JC3000 Finger Operated Joystick Controller-2

The JC3000 joystick controller is designed for demanding applications in remote control chestpacks or auxiliary functions on industrial vehicles and other man-machine interfaces, where precise control, signal reliability, and compact size are important. The joystick is available with single or dual axis control, and can be specified with a choice of either long life potentiometer tracks, or switched output signals. Innovative design With a choice of potentiometer tracks that provide the analog signals proportional to lever movement or 3, 4 or 5 switched outputs per joystick half axis, the JC3000...

JC3000 Finger Operated Joystick Controller-3

Potentiometric sensing Designed to interface with an electronic controller, the long-life potentiometer track generates analog outputs with switched reference signals that are proportional to the distance and direction over which the handle is moved. The analog output can be configured to provide signals for fault detection circuits, and a center tap provides an accurate voltage reference for the center position or a zero point for a bipolar supply voltage. The electrically independent switch operates with separate contacts each side of the joystick center position, in each available axis. The...

8 JC3000 DIMENSIONS Note: drawings not to scale JOYSTICK CONTROLLER The joystick is designed to be fitted from below the mounting panel, through a 50.75/51.00mm diameter hole. The effectiveness of the joystick flange sealing is dependent on the panel mounting surface being sufficiently rigid to compress the sealing gaiter. The surface finish of the mounting panel is critical to achieving an adequate seal and rough surface finishes, paint chips, deep scratches, etc. should be avoided. Recommended panel thickness 3.5 to 6mm Recommended screw torque The JC3000 joystick requires 4 x M3 screws (not...
