BF BD

The BF Series Paddle is the very latest generation in high precision contactless controls. It combines the features of a contactless single axis joystick and a switch, in one joystick controller. Long trouble-free life is assured with the latest Hall effect technology, providing a range of analog, switched or custom PWM output options. The all-new design with its innovative mechanism and ergonomic styling is specifically designed for robustness, strength and performance.

The BF BD series has locked positions with spring back to center. The lever 'clicks' into a number of pre-set positions. When it is released, it springs back to its center position. Concerning the connections, the paddle joystick is, as standard, fitted with an 8-way connector with a 2.54 mm pitch.

The BF Series also incorporates internal magnetic shielding to minimize the effect of external magnetic fields. It is not recommended to mount or operate the single axis controller near strong magnetic fields.

This industrial joystick is available in two standard handle options:

• The BF paddle: An ergonomic handle option of 74 mm
• The BD paddle: A shorter handle option of 50 mm suited to handheld applications which require a minimized height.
