The design priority of assuring a high permanent IP protection category on the front side led to development of joysticks ST1, NS0-SFA, and NS2-KA with chrome-plated and/or cast silumin consoles. The galvanized or stainless steel handle stalk provides precise control over the sealed shaft via bevel gears, contacts, potentiometers, and encoders that is stepped or infinitely variable, locking, with reset or friction brake. These switches prove their durability and reliability on ships, yachts, offshore oil rigs, or in steel mills
