APEM 3000 Series Contactless Joysticks CLASS LEADING INSTALLED DEPTH <19 MM - HALL EFFECT SENSING ONE, TWO OR THREE AXES - 5V OR 3.
3000 SERIES - CONTACTLESS JOYSTICKS PRODUCT OVERVIEW GENERAL DESCRIPTION The 3000 Series is the very latest generation in high precision contactless joysticks. With a class leading installed depth of <19mm, it is available in one, two or three axes formats. Long trouble-free life is assured with the latest hall effect technology, providing a range of analogue signals or custom PWM output options.
000 SERIES - CONTACTLESS JOYSTICKS CONFIGURATIONS & OUTPUTS FIVE CONFIGURATION OPTIONS When considering a 3000 Series the first decision is what type of outputs are needed for your application. There are five output configurations offered as standard: 1. For general purpose applications operating on a 5V supply, this configuration provides one proportional output per axis, a centre tap reference and a separate centre detect output.
3000 SERIES - CONTACTLESS JOYSTICKS MECHANICAL INFORMATION MECHANISM The omni-directional mechanism utilises an extremely robust ball-socket pivot. This construction yields an end product that is extremely resistant to vertical impact. Furthermore it constantly withstands high pull, push, rotational or horizontal forces that the product may be subject to, during life. SPRINGING All 3000 Series are offered sprung to centre. The standard spring force requires 1.3N (nominally) to off-centre the joystick.

3000 SERIES - CONTACTLESS JOYSTICKS APPLICATION DETAILS LATEST TECHNOLOGY The patented design of the new 3000 Series joystick, introduces many new features and manufacturing techniques. POWER SUPPLY The 3000 Series is designed to be powered by a regulated 5V+/- 0.5V power supply. The outputs are ratiometric, making a stable, noise free, power supply essential. The 3.3V version of the 3000 Series requires a power supply accurate to +/-0.1V.
