Joystick control

Smooth motions

This joystick makes the operation of uniaxial machines seem like child‘s play. The reason is the spherical igubal® axial bearing, with flexibility which allows smooth joystick movements. The bearing cup is affixed to the machine, and the spherical washer slides loosely in the cup and gives the joystick the desired room for maneuver. The main reason for the use of the axial bearing was its ease of installation and good sliding properties, which would not have been feasible with a metal bearing.
