About the 50JCK-ex ATEX Hand Joystick

The S50JCK-EX joystick series combines a heavy duty joystick design with ATEX/IECEx certified potentiometers and/or switches for intrinsically safe use in EX Zone 1 and EX Zone 2 operations without the need for a galvanic barrier. The superior mechanical and electrical design offers high precision control and great reliability over its full operation lifetime (5M+ cycles).

Commonly used configurations are available from stock and can be delivered within days! This includes both 1-axis and 2-axis versions with only potentiometers or directional switches, as well as versions that combine potentiometers with directional switches. All standard configurations have a spring return device, a conical shaped knob, and a dust-proof rubber cover (IP54 above panel).

Even when a standard configuration does not meet the requirements in your unique application, the S50JCK-EX series still is the right joystick for you as each joystick can be configured and customized to your specific needs. Some customization options available on S50JCK-EX are high-torque lever movement, special detents, and higher IP rates (up to IP66 above panel). Other customization options and/or special requirements can be checked and discussed with our engineers!
