Joystick, Optical Encoder and Pushbutton Switch in a Single, Integrated Solution

2025-04-10 | 반환

CTS Corporation is expanding its control product portfolio with a new "3-in-1" joystick solution. The series 293 combines a four-directional joystick with an optical encoder and a robust pushbutton switch, granting customers the control solution they need to operate various medical, industrial and commercial technologies.

Moving the joystick shaft will activate one of four tactile switches, enabling movement control in the X and Y axes. Rotating the joystick shaft will adjust the optical encoder to one of a total of 20 different positions, enabling additional control functionality, e.g., zooming and rotation. Finally, pressing down on the joystick shaft will activate the integrated pushbutton switch, allowing for the initiation of various commands.

The series 293 joystick encoder is a cost-effective solution that grants elaborate, single-hand control for a myriad of applications across numerous industries. The series 293 can be acquired through CTS&lqquot& global dsitribution network and shipped to anywhere in the world in a matter of days.
