Caldaro tackled the challenge of constructing an unbreakable joystick for one of the harshest environments on earth — namely, the mining industry. The result was the C15. This joystick is the base within our Palm Grip segment.
Caldaro defines a joystick as part of two modules. The joystick base and the joystick grip attached to the base. The C15 can be combined with for example our Viper grip or the Gecko grips series. See also the C06 series.
The C17 friction hold joystick, meticulously designed for slow-moving vehicles such as asphalt paving machines, offers unparalleled precision control. This feature empowers the operator to adjust and maintain the speed accurately, ensuring a secure and controlled operation without any slip-stick for a seamless experience.
Our customers needed a robust friction joystick that could maintain its friction even after a million operations. We took on the challenge and ensured the lever operation was smooth enough to allow minute adjustments. The result? The C17 joystick has been successfully tested more than 2 million times without losing its friction. Its robustness is so impressive that a patent is now pending, giving you the assurance of its durability.
