Thumbstick controls target military and defence applications

These high-precision thumbstick controls are designed to provide reliable performance in harsh environments, making them an ideal choice for military vehicles, remote weapon systems, and other critical defence platforms.

Featuring non-contacting Hall effect technology for long life performance, the TS Series Thumbstick is available with multiple linear output options including single and dual (redundant) outputs. It is similar in size and operation to gamepad controls, but in a rugged industrial package.

Typical applications include pendant and remote controls as well as a joystick handle and arm rest integration.

The TS Series stands out for its rugged construction, ensuring reliable operation in the most challenging conditions.

With an IP67 rating, these thumb controls are fully sealed to resist dust, water, and other environmental factors that are commonly encountered in military operations.

This high level of protection ensures that the TS Series can be trusted to maintain functionality in the field, whether in desert terrains, wet climates, or other extreme environments.

The TS Series is available in both single-axis and dual-axis configurations, allowing for flexible integration into a variety of military systems.

These options provide precise, responsive control, which is crucial for mission-critical applications where accuracy and dependability are paramount.

The low-profile design of the TS Series is also a key feature, enabling easy incorporation into compact spaces without compromising control capabilities.

APEM has designed the TS Series to meet the needs of operators who require intuitive and fatigue-free operation during prolonged missions.

The ergonomic design of these thumbstick controls enhances user comfort, enabling extended use without strain, which is essential in high-stress military scenarios.

Whether integrated into handheld devices, vehicle control panels, or remote-operated systems, the TS Series Thumbstick Controls deliver the reliability and precision that military operations demand.

These controls are not only built to last but also designed to provide the tactile feedback and responsive control necessary for effective mission execution.
