Choosing an Electrical Switch

Joystick Switches
Intuitively steer and position cranes, robot arms, and other machinery that moves in multiple directions—your equipment will follow the movements you make with these joysticks. They control multiple circuits as you move them in different directions and patterns. Assemble a complete switch with an actuator and at least one contact block (sold separately). All actuators include a mounting clip that can fit up to two contact blocks. They’re NEMA and IP rated for protection from dust, washdowns, and oil/coolant spraying.
Two-position actuators require one to four contact blocks. Four-position actuators require two to four contact blocks. They are off in the center position.
Lockable actuators have a head that secures in place, so they won’t start if you bump them on accident.
Momentary actuators can only be locked in the off position. Maintained actuators can be locked in any position.
Chrome-plated steel actuators resist wear better than rubber actuators.
Optional mounting clips accept up to four contact blocks.
