Schneider Electric 22mm Joystick Operator

This Schneider Electric joystick operator mounts in a standard 22mm panel cut-out and provides two-direction control with a maintained action. Each direction operates one normally open contact, giving a simple on-off signal per axis. The unit ships complete with its contact block for fast installation. It carries UL, CSA and CE certifications and meets IEC standards.

Two-direction control with maintained positions

The operator handles basic directional tasks such as up-down or left-right selection where the lever stays in the chosen position until moved again. One normally open contact per direction supplies a single switching point per axis. It is not suited for momentary return-to-centre applications or for systems that require more than two discrete positions or multiple contacts per direction.

Replaces individual push-button pairs

Builders upgrading from separate push buttons gain a single compact device that reduces panel space and wiring effort. The jump is worthwhile when a maintained two-axis function is needed and the NEMA 1, 2, 3, 4, 4X, 12, 13 environmental ratings match the enclosure requirements. It does not fit applications needing three or more directions or momentary spring-return action.

Questions about this item

Will the 22mm cut-out match the existing panel holes on my older control enclosure?

Yes, the operator is designed for a standard 22mm mounting hole, so it fits the same cut-out used by many legacy push-button and selector switches.

How can I verify the maintained positions are functioning correctly after wiring the 1NO contacts?

Move the joystick to each of the two directions; the corresponding normally open contact should close and stay closed while the handle is held in that position, opening only when released to centre.

Does the package include the contact block or must I order it separately?

The unit is supplied as a complete assembly with the contact block already fitted, so no separate contact-block purchase is required for installation.
