Customer-specific solutions for your machines are our strength. We have the capability to design a bespoke master controller or joystick to suit your exact requirements.
Single-axis controllers
The S 22 single-axis controller is a rugged switching device that meets IEC 947-5-1, EN 60947, DIN and VDE 0660-200 standards for electro-hydraulic and rail applications.
Modular single-axis controllers
The modular design of this single-axis controller allows it to be used for a variety of applications including on railways. The S 22 is resistant to oil, harsh maritime climates, ozone and UV radiation.
The mechanical life of the S 22 is six million operating cycles, and the operating temperature range is -40°C to +60°C (storage -50°C to +80°C). Climatic resistance, damp heat constant according to DIN IEC 68 part 2-3, damp heat cyclic according to DIN IEC 68 part 2-30, and IP 54, IEC 529 and DIN 40050 protection are among its other features.
