Curtiss-Wright JC4000 Joystick
Single-or dual-axis joystick for use on Aerial Work Platforms.
The robust joystick base and accompanying a range of grips – from the Industrial division’s Penny & Giles brand family – provide options for single- or dual-axis operation making the product suitable for both scissor lifts and boom applications. Three dual-axis gates are available – round, square or plus – while the ergonomically-designed grip offers the choice of one or two top switches, as well as a person-present lever, meaning the unit can be used across a wide variety of machines. These carefully-chosen configuration options are designed to offer an optimal combination of performance and cost.
The JC4000 employs a long-life bearing system and non-contacting, Hall-effect sensing technology to achieve an impressive lifespan of over 6 million operating cycles. It is powered from a 5Vdc supply voltage and offers analog output options of 0.5-4.5V or 1.0-4.0V.
Other key features of the JC4000 include:
- Load performance of 50Nm horizontal, 1100N vertical and 6Nm rotational
- Dual outputs on each axis
- Center-reference signal
- Under- or above-panel mounting
- Enclosure sealing to IP67
- EMC performance to 100V/m
- MTTFd > 100 years
