462 Series

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 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 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.
