Faber-com MAP PWM Joystick

Product Overview

The Faber-com MAP PWM Joystick is a precision-engineered, single-axis electronic joystick designed to provide pulse-width modulation (PWM) output signals for direct control of proportional solenoid valves. Part of the MAP series, this joystick combines rugged construction with advanced Hall-effect sensing technology to deliver reliable, wear-free position feedback in demanding industrial and mobile hydraulic applications.

Key Features

• PWM Output Signal
   Generates dual PWM signals proportional to joystick position, enabling precise modulation of hydraulic valves without requiring external driver modules.
• Non-Contact Hall Effect Sensing
   Utilizes redundant Hall-effect sensors to detect lever position via a permanent magnet, ensuring longevity and consistent performance by eliminating mechanical wear points.
• Configurable Parameters
   Fully programmable parameters include output current limits, rise and fall ramp times (adjustable up to 25 seconds), PWM frequency (typically 50–300 Hz), and output curve shaping (linear or parabolic).
• Robust Construction
   Designed for harsh environments, the joystick features sealed electronics with ingress protection (IP65 or higher), corrosion-resistant materials, and wide operating temperature range (–40°C to +70°C).
• Standardized Connectivity
   Equipped with a 20 cm cable terminating in a Deutsch DT04-8 connector, facilitating easy integration into existing control systems.
