New Harsh-Environment Joystick Delivers Tactile Feedback

February 5, 2018 - Grayhill Inc., LaGrange, Ill., has introduced the Series 04JT Discrete Joystick with center pushbutton, which features direct tactile feedback.

The single pole, four-way toggle switch is designed and manufactured to meet military standards for immersion, mechanical shock, vibration, and moisture seal, making it ideal for harsh applications where vibration or contamination are a concern.

Sealed against contamination to IP 67 when properly mounted, the Series 04JT joystick is the ideal choice for military weapons sights/goggles, display navigation, and equipment motion control via handgrip or panel mounting.

Key advantages:

· Short behind-the-panel depth – requires less than 0.7 inch

· Dynamically sealed – tested to IP67 even when switch is actuated

· Momentary contact with tactile feedback – self-return to center, where the contact is open

· Long life cycle – 250,000 cycles through all directions

· RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant

· Tested to MIL Standard Environmental Requirements
