AJ3 Joystick

The AJ3 Joystick provides the

reliability required in
demanding environmental
conditions such as heavy duty
industrial applications.
The high mechanical strength
of the shaft and the unique
sensing design make the
joystick ideal for rigorous use
in rugged, harsh
environments.
The AJ3 Joystick is designed
to accommodate standard
and custom designed
multifunction grips.
The AJ3 Joystick is available
separately or combined with
various mulitfunction grips.
