These force operated joysticks provide a linear, infinite resolution output voltage proportional to the force and voltage applied. Linear force range for a standard device is either 0-3 or 0-5 lbs. Input voltages of up to 12 volts DC or AC RMS can be used. Units utilize semiconductor piezoresistive elements mounted on a cantilever beam. Units return to center when force is removed.		200,000 Hours MTBF Life 10,000,000 Cycles Infinite Resolution Small Size and Lightweight Wide Variety of Styles & Mounting Configurations

		Model 462 Subminiature Joystick This model incorporates a stainless steel case, optonal elastomer seal and bushing mount and offers high performance and precision in a small size where space is an important factor.
