Overview
The SVAB Electronic Joystick Base (eJB) is a robust and safe electronic joystick designed for remote control of electro-hydraulics via CAN. It mimics the mechanics and ergonomics of a hydraulic joystick, ensuring a familiar feel and high safety through redundant design.

Functional Principle
The joystick operates by moving rods that adjust magnets, with dual sensors reading magnet positions for redundancy. The operating force is customizable, and the axis stroke can be set between 18° and 23°. The joystick base allows for easy connection of SVAB joystick grips, providing a single cable connection to the machine.
