Robust construction and precision components comprise the customizable 826 series industrial joystick. Precision potentiometers, matched to the operating angle, are direct coupled to the joystick gimbal ensuring smooth, precise control throughout the operating angle. Directional or center detect micro-switches are optional as well as center or positional detents on either  axis.

Detent Mechanism

Machined cam with notches, locations specified by user, rides along spring loaded bearing. When notch and bearing align a distinct tactile feedback is produced. For spring return models, detent force is sufficient to maintain handle position. 3 detents per axis maximum.
