# Industrial Specification: Control Joysticks

## 1. Technical Definition
Manual input devices used to control machinery or equipment through directional movement.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-5.0 N actuation force, 0.1-2.0 mm deflection per axis, -40°C to 85°C ambient temperature**. Failure boundary: **Potentiometer wiper contact resistance exceeding 10 kΩ, Hall effect sensor magnetic flux density deviation beyond ±15 mT, plastic fatigue at 10⁶ deflection cycles**, Mechanism: **Wear particle accumulation in potentiometer tracks (Archard's wear equation: V = KWL/H), polymer creep in ABS housing (Norton's law: ε̇ = Aσⁿexp(-Q/RT)), electromagnetic interference exceeding 3 V/m at 10-1000 MHz**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
