CGEC has custom developed several types of industrial electric joysticks to serve Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and operators across industrial, commercial, and consumer environments. When focusing on industrial applications, joysticks for machines and equipment play a crucial role. For this reason, it’s important to be familiar with two of the leading types of industrial joysticks: hall effect joysticks and potentiometer joysticks.
Key Considerations for Industrial Electric Joysticks
There are advantages and disadvantages to all types of joysticks. It is important to be aware of the underlying dynamics of both potentiometer and hall effect based joysticks to select the one that is suitable for your specific application.
The electronic control joystick has the following common output signals: potentiometer type, ordinary hall type, with conversion circuit type, CAN bus type, other.
Hall type joystick features:
● Hall non-contact angle detection
● long lasting
● High pollution resistance
● The trend in future
Potentiometer type control joystick features:
● Passive components
● Strong anti-interference ability
● Large voltage range
● Low power consumption
● Voltage/current output: specify the input voltage (wide voltage input) output voltage or current;
● CAN bus output: transmit data signals through the bus interface.
● Other: Sometimes customers also choose the joystick replace a switch, So CGEC also provides a handle without signal output.
