Joysticks are the most suitable hand-controllers for dynamic applications such as the remote operation of a vehicle or camera tracking system. They are available in two basic forms; displacement or force sensitive (read more)

"Force sensitive", or "stiff stick", joysticks use strain gauges to sense the force applied to a metal bar and covert it into a proportional electrical output. Typically a movement of less than 1mm is needed to achieve full scale output. (read more)

All Elobau's joysticks are of modular design and can be configured separately for the x and y axis; they also come in different sizes and designs – depending on requirements. In the mechanism the operating magnets and sensor housings are separated which means that all the different versions comply with protection class IP 67. (read more)

Daco's MJ3 force operated, miniature joysticks typically have a body length of approximately 25mm (1 inch). This makes them ideal for fitting in control grips. Joysticks are the most suitable hand-controllers for dynamic applications such as the remote operation of a vehicle or camera tracking system (read more)

Gamepad style controllers are often used for remote control of armoured vehicles or electro-optical systems, finger-and-thumb displacement joysticks are most often used for naval command and control consoles and the yoke style, known as gunners' control handles, typically are used in a armoured vehicles.

High reliability 2 axis joystick with reduced dimensions and long life cycle. The new dual-axis mini joystick J1 from elobau measures only 41 x 41 x 41 mm, and can be operated using just the thumb or another finger. This allows it to be placed on, for example, a large, manually controlled joystick or installed in other devices that have limited space. (read more)
