Compact Control.
More Feedback.
The F16 industrial finger joystick combines contactless Hall sensing, redundant mechanics and a compact single-axis design — with optional vibration and LED indication for applications where space, feedback and reliability matter.
Operator interfaces are becoming more compact while the number of functions continues to increase. F16 is designed for installations where panel space is limited but precise, reliable control is still required.
Its compact construction allows multiple finger joysticks to be positioned close together, making F16 particularly suitable for armrests, radio remote controls and compact machine interfaces.
Redundancy is built into both the sensing architecture and the mechanical return system, including two independent springs for increased reliability.
Small joystick.
Serious capability.
Hall Technology
Contactless Hall-effect sensing provides precise position measurement without a conventional mechanical sensing element.
Dual Redundancy
Redundancy is built into both the electronics and the mechanics, with two independent return springs for increased reliability.
LED Indication
Optional LED illumination can provide clear visual status information directly at the operator control.
Haptic Feedback
Optional vibration gives the operator tactile feedback without requiring attention to be moved away from the machine task.
Feedback where the operator feels it.
F16 can combine the primary control function with direct feedback to the operator. Optional LED illumination provides visual indication, while vibration can provide tactile feedback directly through the joystick.
This creates new possibilities for compact machine interfaces where the control itself can communicate machine status or operating events.
Configure how it moves.
And how it returns.
Dual Springs
Two independent return springs provide mechanical redundancy within the return system.
Spring Return
Automatic return behaviour provides a defined neutral position for proportional machine control.
Detent Steps
Mechanical detents can provide clearly defined positions and tactile confirmation to the operator.
Locking Options
Locking configurations are available for functions where the selected position should be maintained.
Designed to work side by side.
The compact F16 format makes it possible to arrange several controls close together when the operator interface requires multiple proportional or selectable functions.
This makes the joystick particularly interesting for compact armrests and handheld or radio remote-control systems.
Compact control for demanding machines.
F16 is suited to operator interfaces where space, precise single-axis control, redundancy and configurable mechanical behaviour are important.
Compact outside.
Redundant by design.
Protection up to IP67 above sealing. Technical characteristics depend on the selected configuration. Final specifications should be confirmed for the individual application.
