The CTI F1800-N82 is a 3-axis OEM industrial joystick from the F-Series, built on non-contacting inductive sensor technology rather than a potentiometer or Hall sensor. The inductive design has no wiper to wear and no magnetic drift, giving it a reliability edge in critical applications.

What does inductive sensing buy over a potentiometer?

Potentiometers degrade with use and Hall sensors drift with temperature; the inductive sensor is immune to both. Sealed to NEMA 4 (IP66) and rated for more than 10 million deflections, the F1800-N82 targets aerospace, medical, and military systems where a control failure is not an option.

• Third axis: 5k rotating potentiometer, 20M MTBF
• Spring return to center on all axes
• Operating range 0 to 80 °C, optional -40 to 80 °C
• Optional optical neutral safety switch and EMI/RFI shielding

Because it is modular, CTI can tailor the F1800-N82 to a specific voltage output and harsh-environment requirement without a full custom design.
