A compact, two axis, force operated, precision
fingertip or thumb joystick control which converts
the input force of the operator to analog output
voltages proportional to applied force and input
voltage. This potentiometer based joystick
technology was first patented and introduced by
Ultra MSI (U.S. Patent No. 3454920). These devices
have found hundreds of applications in a number of
industries and are in extensive world-wide use
today.
Model 462 joystick controls can be used as stand
alone devices for customer integration, installed in
Ultra MSI Control Grips for a thumb-operated grip
control, or integrated into custom input systems and
panels per customer requirements.
Their extra-small size and weight make them ideal
solutions where precision control is required but
larger devices are not practical.
