Romeo joystick
zoom in
Romeo joystick is designed for controlling complex machinery operating under severe conditions and in aggressive environments.
Design
Materials, technical solutions, size and shape of critical components ensure mechanical strength, with special attention being paid to design, ergonomics, sensitivity and accuracy of operations.
Options
Three different versions of Romeo joystick are available: With free movement, dead man’s switch (mechanical interlock with or without NO/NC contact) or electrical interlock. Different versions of Romeo joystick can be used only with specific handles.
The movement of the rod in both directions can be adjusted by means of special lever guides. Romeo is a small joystick available with up to 6 speeds and supplied with (or without) a potentiometer or an encoder. The stepless version is also available, with a built-in analog actuator and current, voltage or PWM outputs.
Materials
The structural components are made of die-cast nickel-plated alloy to ensure maximum endurance, while the wearing parts are made of technopolymer.
