Hall Effect Joystick

Hall effect joystick another technology discovered by edwin herbert hall applies the properties of electromagnetism through the usage of ferromagnetic material gave rise to the hall effect joystick.

Hall effect joystick.

The hf series joystick is a contactless multi axis controller providing long life finger positioning control. In order to compatible with arduino it should be powered by 5v and output 2 axis analog values in the range within 0 5v. The as5013 is a complete solution that contains five sensors and a processing engine making integration with a host processor quite easy. I designed a built this 3d printed joystick that uses an arduino pro micro and magnets with hall effect sensors to sense pitch and roll.

Hall effect joystick have many variant. Concretely the movement of a magnet placed beneath the actuator modifies the electromagnetic field when the actuator is operated. The output voltage varies per the actuator position. The pen body plastic is very brittle.

The joystick offering on the market is large and diversified and it is not easy to find the more relevant technology. The jhm series medium hall effect industrial joystick is a full function operator control in a package that will fit in an armrest or on a control panel. The hall effect joystick has an advantage over the potentiometer joystick in that there is no physical contacting wear issue with the sensor itself. If you would like.

Using a vice carefully press in a short segment of pen body into the bearing do not hammer it. They can be used to measure the position and orientation of a magnet. Hall effect sensors are non contact devices which measure magnetic fields. Hall effect joysticks are proportional.

The parts shown are a 22mm bearing just a little shy of 7 8 diameter two 1 4 x 1 4 neodymium magnets an allegro a1302 hall effect sensor and a bic pen body. We are us based leading supplier of hall effect joystick industrial joystick controller and manufacturer of hall effect joystick components for military aerospace commercial industrial marine and off highway use.
