8000 Series

The 8000 Series is a new range of microswitch joysticks. Based on the proven mechanics of the 9000 Series, the 8000 Series utilises high quality microswitches to provide a range of possible outputs, including the option of progressive switching on a single axis for dual speed control.

The microswitches have changeover contacts and are rated to a maximum of 1 Amp, whilst having gold plated contacts for reliable switching at lower current levels.

With six possible switching configurations offered as standard, in either single or dual axes formats. The 8000 Series also introduces a number of new handle options including a larger push button handle, and a multi-function two button handle. Joystick Style Sealing Boots for Two And Three Position Toggle Switches, single axesAPEM 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. PROPORTIONAL JOYSTICKS3000 Series Industrial Contactless JoystickThe 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 SeriesIndustrial Potentiometer JoystickThe 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 RFI5000 SeriesLight Duty Potentiometer JoystickThe 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 SeriesContactless Industrial JoystickThe 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.
