The load capacity, which is the maximum axial load before deformation, is typically in the range of 500 to 2000 N. However, this value depends on the specific model and application. Always verify the exact load capacity with the manufacturer or supplier for your intended use.
The mechanism uses two or more concentric rings with orthogonal pivot axes. When the joystick handle is moved, these rings rotate independently, allowing compound angular movement while keeping the central mounting point relatively stationary. This decouples the degrees of freedom, enabling smooth and precise control.
Common materials include stainless steel, aluminum alloy, and engineering plastic. The choice of material affects strength, weight, and corrosion resistance. For example, the housing may be made of aluminum alloy 6061-T6, but this should be confirmed for the specific product.
The operating temperature range is typically -40°C to 85°C in a non-condensing environment. However, this is a reference range; the actual range may vary by model. Always check the manufacturer's specifications for your specific application.
