Potentiometer sensor
The potentiometer sensor electrical connections are made via a 16 pin AMP 040 series MULTILOCK
connector mounted on the base of the unit.
Potentiometer outputs are ratiometric. The output value is dependent on the supply voltage. When the
joystick handle returns to center, the output will be between 48% and 52% of supply voltage (Vs).
Potentiometer sensor specifications
Minimum load impedance
1 MΩ recommended
Maximum wiper current
5 mA
Supply voltage
> 36 Vdc
Center tap/switch alignment
Within 0.5º
Potentiometer electrical angle
± 18º
Center tap angle
± 2.5º
Insulation resistance at 50 Vdc
> 50 MΩ
Center tap
A center tap is standard on all potentiometer tracks, where 50% of the supply voltage can be supplied to
force the sensor voltage to this known reference. When the center tap is not connected there will be a
center dead band (where the voltage output does not change on initial deflection) and the output
voltage will be between 48 and 52% of the supply voltage.
