Move-Stop-Stay

– in one smooth motion

Experience unparalleled precision control with Caldaro’s new C17 friction joystick. This state-of-the-art control is designed for slow-moving vehicles such as asphalt paving machines. Achieve your desired speed with seamless precision. Release the joystick, and it will stay put with our Patent-Pending friction hold technology. The official launch is coming this autumn.

About

Seamless operation without slip-stick

Large ships and asphalt pavers both need consistent pacing. Hence, it was logical for us to reuse and refine a marine lever solution when we were asked to create a new one-axis friction-hold joystick.

Leveraging our extensive experience from developing premium marine thruster controls with friction, we have created the C17 joystick, focusing on long-lasting performance and reliability. Our innovative approach combines superior materials and advanced friction technology to deliver a joystick that maintains its friction over time, ensuring consistent and precise control.

Key Features

  • Patent-Pending Friction Technology: Our unique friction solution provides superior control, longevity, and smoothness.
  • Friction Hold Technology: Maintains position without springing back to the center, ideal for setting and holding speeds on slow-moving vehicles.

  • Non-Slip-Stick Solution: The C17 is designed to allow small movements without stickiness or slip-stick. This ensures smooth, controlled operations with minimal effort, providing superior precision and ease of use.
  • Adjustable Center Detent: Available with an adjustable center detent, making it easy to find the neutral position.
  • Premium Feel and Control: The joystick offers a high-end, smooth feel, enhancing the user experience and control precision.
  • Robust Design: The C17 joystick is housed in a cast metal casing and features silicone-potted electronics, ensuring maximum durability and protection against harsh environmental conditions.
  • Versatile Compatibility: The C17 joystick is compatible with the full range of Caldaro joystick grips and a wide array of electrical interfaces, ensuring it can meet diverse market needs.

Why Choose the C17 Joystick?

  • Unmatched Longevity: Designed to withstand many years of use, the C17 ensures long-term reliability. We stopped our test equipment when passing 2 million operations. The C17 still offered excellent friction and feeling, attesting to the joystick’s durability.
  • Proven Performance: With several units currently undergoing field tests and receiving positive feedback, the C17 is already demonstrating its value across various environments and climates.
  • Superior Build Quality: Manufactured in Sweden with top-tier materials, ensuring the highest quality and robustness.
