JS120 less susceptible to unintentional operation and the minimum under-panel footprint makes it ideal for mounting in panels and operator arm rests. The JS120 is sealed to IP 66 above panel to enable it to operate in extreme environments.
JS120 Single Axis Fingertip Joystick Product configuration model code The product configuration model code specifies particular features when ordering the JS120. The model code begins with the product family name and the remaining fields are filled in to configure the product with the desired features.
Product configuration model code Center tap A center tap (spring return to center option) is a standard JS120 feature, where 50% of the supply voltage can be supplied to force the sensor voltage to this known reference. When the center tap is not connected there will be a center dead band (where the voltage output does not change on initial deflection).
Long lever Short lever JS120 is designed to be fitted down into the panel, through the panel cutout. Panel seal integrity can be achieved by using sealing gasket. Mounting screws can be driven to a recommended torque of 1 N•m (9 lbf•in).

Technical Information JS120 Single Axis Fingertip Joystick Product installation Machine wiring guidelines • Protect wires from mechanical abuse, run wires in flexible metal or plastic conduits. • Use 85˚ C (185˚ F) wire with abrasion resistant insulation and 105˚ C (221˚ F) wire should be considered near hot surfaces.
Take steps to detect and manage joystick and system failures that may cause an erroneous output. For safety critical functions Danfoss recommends you use an independent momentary action system enable switch. You can incorporate this switch into the joystick as an operator presence switch or can be a separate foot or hand operated momentary switch.
