Displacement Joysticks
Displacement Joysticks
Joysticks are the most suitable hand controller for dynamic applications such as the remote operation of a vehicle or camera tracking system. They are available in two basic forms: 'force sensitive' or the more traditional 'displacement' type where the handle is free to move through an arc of typically ±20 degrees. This act of moving a joystick handle to control a remote device feels very natural and has made displacement joysticks the most popular choice. Daco offers two ranges of displacement joysticks. The first is a series of modular products with standard options that can be configured in many different ways to make them suitable for the majority of applications. Alternatively, for those requiring more specialised products, the company can provide a joystick individually designed through its cost effective design service. As MP1 joysticks are part of Daco's modular product range, customers can specify a combination of stock components to create a joystick tailored to their individual needs. Over 100 different configurations are possible, all of which are available on short delivery times and are suitable for use in demanding industrial and military applications. The joysticks are extremely rugged yet have a very smooth action making it possible for operators to take advantage of the continuous resolution electrical output. Although available without a handle the MP1 has a hollow stainless steel central shaft, which can accommodate up to 25 wires to allow use with complex multi-function grips such as Daco's MG1 series. The modular options for MP1 joysticks include several different electrical interfaces and a choice of grips. Daco hand controllers are manufactured under an ISO 9001 approved quality system and are covered by a minimum two-year warranty.
