Paddle joystick
Curtiss-Wright’s Industrial division – including its legacy brands of Penny & Giles and PG Drives Technology – is a recognised leader in providing components and sub-systems that enable customer specific solutions for a wide range of material handling applications.
The Penny & Giles branded JC1200 is a next-generation, cost-effective paddle joystick that is suitable for control panels and armrests where cost-effective, long-life operator controls are essential. Long-life bearing systems and Hall-effect technology means the JC1200 achieves 40 million cycles while providing smooth, easy-to-operate functionality.
The IP67-rated JC1200 features a 9mm under-panel depth, requiring minimal installation space and a spring-loaded, return-to-centre/return-to-end paddle movement. It can also be supplied with a choice of nine coloured paddle ‘Tabs’ and launches with a 5Vdc supply voltage and optional factory-programmable electronics.
The C3-CE from PG Drives Technology retains all the features and benefits of the original C3 motor controller but has been CE marked as a safety component and designed with EN ISO 13849 Category 3 hardware architecture – including dual microprocessors, dual inputs and a dedicated B+Safe output. It is compatible with all types of AC induction motors, providing OEMs with a motor controller that is suitable for small industrial vehicle applications, including Class 3 pallet trucks.
