Handle considerations
Recommended handle specification
The IQAN-LC6-X05 will accept OEM specified handles. These handles will need to be
adapted to mount on the joystick stem. The maximum weight of any handle fitted to the
IQAN-LC6-X05 should not exceed 85g. The center of gravity (COG) of the handle
shall not be more than 57mm above the flange mounting surface. This recommendation
results in a handle that generates a maximum moment of 0,05 Nm with a maximum tilt
of 20° of the joystick base. The following formula is used to determine the lever
moment force. distance (0.057m) x weight (0,085kg) x constant (9.81g) = force
(0,047Nm).

ARNING
Risk of injury! Exceeding the recommended handle specifications could cause
unintended movement of the joystick.
Environmental specification
Any handle used with the IQAN-LC6-X05 should be a sealed type that is rated IP65-
IP67 for outdoor use. Additionally, the joystick must always have a bellow installed to
ensure that it will meet the environmental specification for sealing above the flange.
When using a handle from a different manufacturer than Parker, be sure to include a
suitable bellow made of a material that is able to withstand the stresses of outdoor use
in mobile hydraulic machinery.

Failure to use a properly fitted bellow of the correct material will cause the unit to not
meet its environmental specification and may result in damage to the IQAN-LC6-X05
joystick.
