The 8000 Series is a family of rugged switch joysticks. Based on the proven mechanics of the 9000 Series, the 8000 Series utilises high quality microswitches to provide a range of possible outputs, including the option of progressive switching on a single axis for dual speed control.

MICROSWITCHES
The 8000 Series utilises industrial quality microswitches with changeover contacts. As standard, the switches are rated to a maximum of 1 Amp, and have gold plated contacts for reliable switching at low current levels. Please note when specifying a joystick with a push button handle the characteristics of the push button will be different from the microswitches.
