Megatron Rugged Joysticks

Megatron Rugged Joysticks

Finding joysticks that can withstand the rigours of harsh industrial and environmental conditions can present a challenge. You’re looking for the ideal combination – on the one hand they need to be tough and resilient to the conditions, but on the other, they need to offer precise control and accurate movement.  Our recommendation would be to take a look the Megatron range of rugged and industrial joysticks – with 37 designs to choose from, you’re sure to find what you’re looking for.

 

Megatron industrial joysticks – durable by design

Rugged joysticks are used in agriculture, road cleaning, logistics, medical applications and a range of other harsh environments across a wide range of sectors – and in these situations, they need to be robust, dust and waterproof, and incredibly durable while still offering the required degree of control and movement. Megatron has designed and produced a range of joysticks that feature a variety of technologies, providing smooth mechanics and IP67 protection certification. Many feature soft-touch feel and they all offer precise control of machines and devices in harsh conditions.

 

The Megatron range encompasses finger, thumb, hand and desktop joysticks for use with mobile machines, medical technology, apparatus engineering and security technology. The company has been a specialist manufacturer of mechatronic components for more than 50 years and their products are deployed throughout a wide variety of applications across the whole of the processing industry.

 

Types of joysticks

  • Finger joysticks – these are input devices with one, three or six degrees of freedom, Optoelectronic sensors, Potentiometer or Hall Effect technology, and UART, USB, PWM, analog, dual output or voltage regulator interfaces. Even under the harshest conditions the sensor systems employed are reliable and precise, resisting extreme temperatures, dust, aging and static magnetic fields.
  • Thumb joysticks – these are the babies of the range and come as small or miniature, perfect for when space is limited. They can be integrated into hand-gripped joysticks, remote controls, arm rests, swivel arms, or into stationery user panels and remote controls, and offer dual axis control or feature thumb wheels or rockers for single-axis control.
  • Hand joysticks – these are the ideal choice for heavy-duty and off-road use. Tough components and the optimized dimensioning of the mechanisms and control levers result in individually configurable joysticks, offering ergonomic functionality in a range of dimensions. They can incorporate additional devices such as rockers, mini joysticks, triggers, deadman switches and others.
  • Desktop joysticks – these have been developed for professional indoor usage and can be used by left and right hands. Perfect for sensitive control tasks such as precise steering in medical technologies or engineering, or for use with CCTV. They can work over 3 axes and can incorporate pushbuttons.
