By collaborating with industry professionals during development, Makersan ensured that its joystick meets real-world demands. The result is a fully sealed, potted design that offers maximum ingress protection and submersible operation. The grip supports customizable configurations using contactless, redundant Hall effect sensors, and includes options such as capacitive sensors, and illuminated buttons and rollers for enhanced operator interaction.

The joystick’s base provides full redundancy with outputs like CAN, analog, PWM and high-current drive. Its robust shaft accommodates various actuation styles – spring return, friction hold, detent and more – with multiple-axis movement options. Built with SS304 metal and reinforced polyamides, it withstands extreme conditions and over 10 million actuations without maintenance.

As OEMs shift from hydraulic to electronic controls, Makersan offers a complete joystick range – from full-size to micro – for efficient, one-handed control. Find out more about the company’s portfolio at the expo.
