NOTES:
1. The additional center detect switch is not available on
joysticks with progressive switching.
2. Guided feel is only available on two axis joysticks.
Further non-standard options including custom handles,
special limiters and detents are available. Please refer to APEM.
3. Only a square limiter will allow sufficient travel in a diagonal
direction to activate both speed and steer switches.
* For more handles
see next page
BEZEL OPTIONS
For drop-in mounting, please specify bezel option 6 or 7. For sub-panel mounting, no bezel is necessary, unless the boot is
required to seal to the front face of the panel in which case option 4 should be specified. Bezels 6 & 7 clamp the boot and top
face of the joystick body to the panel when bezel 4 clamps only the boot. Some handles may be larger than some panel
cut-outs. This may restrict the choice for mounting and bezel options. Please refer to APEM for assistance.
SPRINGING
As standard 8000 series are offered sprung to center. The standard spring force requires1.6N (nominally) to off-center the
joystick. The 8000 series may be specified with a lighter spring (1N).
NOTE: Forces quoted are subject to exact joystick configuration and are provided as a guide only.
Note: The company reserves the right to change specifications without notice.

The joystick is dropped into the panel cut-out. The joystick and boot must
be kept in place by bezel (option 6 & 7). For panel thickness of <3mm,
M3 x 16 countersunk machine screws are recommended.
To ensure a good panel seal, gaskets are available as an optional extra.
NOTES:
1. Dimensions are in mm/(inch).
2. The dimensions shown are for a generic 8000 series with the conical E type handle. For specific dimensions of this or any other
configuration please refer to APEM.

The joystick flange is mounted beneath the panel and the base of
the boot must be brought through the panel cut-out and held in
place with the circular bezel (option 4). For panel thicknesses of
3mm, M3 x 16 countersunk machine screws are recommended.
NOTES:
–
–
When sub panel mounting, great care should be taken not to damage the boot, or any of the mechanism under the boot.
All panel cut-outs should be free from sharp edges and swarf that may damage the boot.
Some handles are larger then the recommended panel cut-out, in which case drop-in mounting must be specified.
Note: The company reserves the right to change specifications without notice.
