Joystick Sensor (Multi-Axis)

The SMD XY Joystick Sensor uses sputtered thin film strain gauge high technology to create a compact, rugged sensor with exceptional long-term stability. It is ideal for applications requiring force sensing in two orthogonal axes. The XY Joystick Sensor provides independent voltage outputs, proportional to the force applied, in two axes. Loading at an arbitrary angle produces the expected sine/cosine variation in signal from the two gauges. Long-term stability, low temperature coefficients and low hysteresis make the SMD XY Joystick Sensor an excellent choice for applications where reliable and stable long-term performance is required. Custom characteristics can be provided for high-volume OEM users.
