NEMA 4, IP66 CTI Electronics Corporation

CTI Electronics expands its line of rugged F-Series miniature industrial joysticks by developing a USB device driver interface for motion control devices. The USB FlightStick offers real-time response rates with acute accuracy and high reliability. Offering complete freedom of movement, users simply plug-in and move the USB FlightStick in the desired direction for device control. Long-term durability of these joysticks, rated for over 10 million deflections, is achieved with the use of non-contacting inductive technology. The joystick's superior NEMA 4 (IP66) environmental sealing eliminates moisture and dirt contaminants.

These new motion control devices are available as a ready-to-integrate OEM USB FlightStick or in a Plug and Play hand-held and desktop stainless steel enclosures.

The ten knob options offer an extremely low profile from 1.4" to 4.0" above panel. Ideally suited for harsh environments, precision instruments, and restricted spaces. Industries currently benefiting from the USB FlightStick include aerospace, automotive, heavy equipment, medical, and military.
