OCS Robust Joysticks
Oliver Control Systems - 1000 Series
The OCS 1000 Series is a range of robust, panel mounted switch joysticks, capable of switching up to 5A * The 1000 series are ideal for camera and machine control style applications, where the use if directing equipment to pre-determined locations.
Supplied with user changeable limiter plates, the 1000 Series can be configured to operate in either single or double axis mode. The range is designed to mount in either screw or bush style configurations and is offered as a low-cost, industry standard, medium duty product. The above panel appearance of the 1000 Series may be customised using either screw or bush mounting, and a range of fully interchangeable knobs and accessories.
Oliver Control Systems - 4000 Series
The OCS 4000 Series is a range of highly versatile single, dual, or tri-axial, proportional joysticks. The range employs high quality Plastic Conductive Film potentiometers as standard, and is designed as a sub-panel mount unit. Available with many different above panel configurations, the 4000 series is ideally suited to medium or heavy duty applications such as electric vehicle control. The series remains a preferred choice for some applications where absolute immunity to RFI is critical.
Oliver Control Systems - 7000 Series
The OCS 7000 Series offers a range of single, dual, or tri-axial products, utilising contactless sensing to give highly repeatable proportional signals that do not degrade with use. The OCS 7000 Series is designed for use in the most demanding of applications where the requirement is for supreme, and consistent, performance throughout the longest possible working life. Mechanical strength is assured through the use of our 'Locking Cam-Ring' assembly system**. With the even distribution of internal loads, this system guarantees the joystick the superior strength and rigidity required to maintain accuracy throughout its working life.
Electronically generated output signals provide for the highest flexibility with the option of additional functions including both centre, and internal fault detection. The 'mirror' signals generated by the internal circuitry can also be made to the user where it is preferred that external fault and centre monitoring is desirable.
Unlike some designs utilising 'Hall effect' technology, the OCS 7000 Series inductive joystick is truly capable of fully internal fault and centre detection, and remains the most fully protected joystick system available.
The OCS 7000 Series can be mounted as either a 'drop in' or sub panel fixing, and offers a range of electronic functionality that makes it the ideal user interface for complex and safety critical applications such as materials handling and power chair control.

Oliver Control Systems - 9000 Series
Developed from the proven 7000 Series, the OCS 9000 Series employs the same, highly proven, inductive sensing and circuitry.
With radically reconfigured mechanics, the below-panel depth is reduced to a world class 35.4 mm, mounted sub-panel, or 31 mm mounted drop-through, making the 9000 Series ideal for those applications that demand lowest possible below-panel profile, as well as providing the most cost optimised joystick for applications which are subject to a lifetime of 10,000,000 cycles.
The joystick offers self-centering. Omni-directional functionality, and utilises the exclusive 'locking cam' system to rigidly secure the highly repeatable mechanism around the precision ground and polished steel operating shaft. High precision air wound coils are mounted directly onto the SMT circuitry, delivering enviable accuracy whilst further minimising the installed depth of the joystick.
