Finger Joystick Series 844 ■ Very robust joystick ■ Small installation depth of < 20 mm ■ Wide selection of configurations/handles ■ Contact-less, wear-free Hall effect technology ■ Reliability through redundant Hall sensors (optional) ■ Ideally suited for applications with high mechanical demands The series 844 offers the most mechanical robust finger joysticks in the portfolio and is suited for harsh conditions. The series uses modern Hall effect sensors, and exhibits robust mechanics (max. load 400 N) with up 10 million lifecycles. A special feature are the Center Detect and Center Tap outputs for non-redundant versions. Moreover, many different handle designs are available.

We therefore suggest to use low-noise, stabilized power supplies. The omni-directional mechanism features an extremely robust ball-socket pivot. This construction yields a product that is very resistant to vertical impact, and constantly withstands high pull, push, rotational or horizontal forces. The 844 series incorporates internal magnetic screening to minimize the effect of external magnetic fields. Nevertheless, we do not recommend mounting or operating the joystick close to strong magnetic fields. MEGATRON Elektronik GmbH & Co.

Data Sheet for Joysticks Series 844 Finger Joystick Technical Drawing CABLES EXIT TO THE EAST WHEN VIEWED FRO M ABOVE Spring return The standard force required for the deflection is 1.3 N. On request, also weaker (1.0 N) or stronger springs can be selected (1.6 N). “Guided feel“ still allows the joystick handle to be deflected omni-directionally, but as the operation force needed for the main axes is slightly below the force needed for diagonal deflection the resulting impression is that of a “guided movement“.
