3000 Series

The 3000 Series is the very latest generation in high precision contactless joysticks. With a class leading installed depth of<19mm, it is available in one, two or three axes formats. Long trouble-free life is assured with the latest hall effect technology, providing a range of analogue signals or custom PWM output options. The 3000 Series also delivers a radically improved mechanism construction, that is specifically designed for increased robustness, strength and performance.

4000 Series

The 4000 Series is a range of highly versatile, single, dual or
tri-axial, proportional joysticks. Unlike many other
potentiometer-based joysticks, the 4000 Series has a metal mechanism for maximum possible robustness and performance.
over life. The range employs high quality, plastic conductive film potentiometers as standard, and is designed as a sub-panel
mount unit. Available with many different above panel options,
the 4000 Series is ideally suited to medium duty applications
such as electric vehicle control.  This series remains the
preferred choice for applications, which require greater then
five million life cycles and absolute immunity to RFI

5000 Series

The 5000 Series is a family of cost optimised, potentiometer joysticks. With a low installed depth
these joysticks are ideal for light to medium duty applications such as CCTV keyboard control.
Configurable in up to three axes for pan, tilt and zoom control, these joysticks are also offered
with a range of handles, gaiters and bezels to ensure they blend seamlessly into the control panel.

9000 Series

The 9000 Series offers a range of single, dual or tri-axial products, utilizing contactless sensing to
give highly repeatable proportional signals that do not degrade with use. The 9000 Series builds
on the well-proven traditions of the earlier 7000 Series, yet introduces significantly improved
mechanics to deliver a shallow installed depth without compromising functionality.
The 9000 Series can be mounted as a drop-in or sub-panel fixing product and offers a range
of electronic features including dual decode technology providing for electronic “at centre” or
“internal fault” detect, which makes it the ideal user interface for complex and safety critical
applications such as materials handling or power chair control.

The Apem Components USB Joystick Interface is designed to connect a joystick with up-to 3 axes and 8 buttons to a USB port on a PC or MAC

We have utilised a "JoyWarrior" controller chip from Code Mercenaries for controlling the USB interface.

The interface is Fully USB V1.1/2,0 and HID compliant. It is compliant. Its is compatible with standard system drivers, so no special drivers are required

There are 3 analog inputs for X, Y and Z axes with 10 bit resolution and connectors for up to 8 pushbuttons.

A large selection of handles from a simple phenolic ball to an anodized aluminium handle with third axis and two button operation

For custom handles please contact Apem Components

The i2Series products are a custom engineered combination of Apem's joysticks, various interface types, membrane keypads and switches, presented in either one of our selected cases or a case of your choosing.
The i2Series from Apem blends all of Apem's core technologies to provide you with a custom handheld or desktop solution.

SWITCH JOYSTICKS

1000 Series

Low Profile Switch Joystick

The 1000 series are robust, switch joysticks.  Based on industry standard V3 and V4 micro-switches, they can switch 6A, 10A or up to 15A.  Available with either single or two poles, the 1000 series are ideal for general machine control type applications where the user is directing equipment at a predetermined speed.  Supplied with user-changeable limiter plates, the 1000 Series
can be configured to operate in either single or dual axes mode. The range is designed to mount in either screw or bush style configurations and is offered as a low cost solution for non-proportional control. The above panel appearance of the 1000 Series may be customized by selecting eitherof the mounting styles and also choosing from the range of fully interchangeable handles and essories.

APEM introduces 2 new neoprene switch sealing boots. These boots feature a soft feel for easy gripping and environmental protection to IP67.
These products are available in 2 sizes. The smaller version, part number U2252, can be mounted on the standard levers of12000,3500,3600and600toggle switches, while the larger one, part number U2197, is intended for the X2243 long lever of the3600and600series.
