PRO-5
COMPACT RUGGED CAST DESIGN
SINGLE AXIS JOYSTICK CONTROLLER
FOR HARSH ENVIRONMENTS
PRO-5 – Single axis cast housing joystick
PRO-5H – Single axis cast housing Hall-effect joystick
PRO-5B/B – Single axis cast housing bang / bang joystick
Construction:
The cast housing construction of the PRO-5 is suitable for use
in wet and dirty environments. The PRO-5 provides precise
proportional control for electro-hydraulic valves and AC/DC
variable speed drives. Your specific control requirements can
be accommodated by a variety of standard and custom
engineered configurations.
The versatile design of the PRO-5 accommodates a variety of
handle options including mechanical interlock and lever
actuated deadman as well as proportional and discrete outputs
including; 11A snap action switches, potentiometers, Halleffect, PWM, CAN Bus, and bang / bang.
Application:
This weatherproof design is ideal for use on scissor lifts, work
platforms, bucket trucks, cranes, agricultural, mining and
forestry equipment where control of electro-hydraulic
proportional valves or variable speed drives is desired.
