Industrial joysticks
EUCHNER Industrial Joystick switches from Treotham Trading are manually actuated motion control switches for installation in control panels as well as well as in portable control equipment.
They are also used on equipment that requires operator control of one or more axes- up to 4 axes if required.
Their robust design allows for use in harsh indoor and outdoor environments. Features such as multiple switches per direction, interlocks, pushbuttons, mounting plates and bellows offer customers a wide variety of options.

Said to be ideal for raising, lowering and triggering movements to the right and left, etc, the joysticks can be used in a range of industries including steel and construction, machine tools and metalworking, transport and conveying systems, materials handling and mechanical engineering and even warehousing.
Depending on the respective application, switching elements with a power rating of 4mA and 16 A can be used. These are fixed on the mounting plate for each different series, either individually or in groups.
