Technical Details

JAV90 is the full-size, heavy-duty class joystick in the Avioni operator control family. Beyond the compact fingertip JAV12 and dual-axis hand-grip JAV22, it addresses control needs requiring high force, wide movement range and extended operator use in mobile cranes, excavators, port equipment, large aerial platforms and heavy construction machinery.

Heavy-Duty Mechanical Design

JAV90 provides comfortable, stable control with a full-size hand-grip layout. Robust housing withstands high pull/push forces and repeated heavy-duty cycles. Spring return-to-center ensures safe neutral position when released. It is designed for mounting on operator armrests and console panels.

Multi-Axis Proportional Control

JAV90 offers independent proportional position sensing on X and Y axes. Depending on project requirements, Z-axis (grip rotation) or additional button/switch functions can also be configured. Lever deflection on each axis allows precise, gradual adjustment of hydraulic proportional valves, motor drives or function intensity. Controlling multiple machine functions from a single joystick improves cab ergonomics.

Hall Effect Sensing

Contactless Hall effect sensor technology replaces potentiometers or mechanical contacts. Magnetic position sensing delivers repeatable output over millions of operating cycles with low maintenance. Stable performance under vibration, dust, moisture and wide temperature variation is a critical advantage for heavy-duty field conditions.

Output and Communication Options

JAV90 can be configured for analog voltage output or digital CANbus communication (CANopen). Analog versions connect directly to Avioni ECU analog input channels. CANopen versions transmit joystick position data, button states and diagnostic information over a single cable to ECUs, HMIs and other network nodes in CAN-based multiplex architectures.

System Integration

JAV90 is a top-tier operator interface component in the Avioni control ecosystem. It is used with C48, C72 and higher-series ECUs, Avioni HMI displays and CANopen/J1939-based machine architectures. During commissioning, axis mapping, deadband setup, function assignment, calibration and functional tests can be performed over the CAN network via Javelin Suite and UCAN adapters.

Position in the Product Family

JAV12 is for tight panels and fingertip precision; JAV22 for medium dual-axis hand control; JAV90 for heavy-duty applications requiring maximum mechanical durability and full-size ergonomics. Together, all three products form a complete operator control portfolio for different machine segments.

Typical Applications

• Boom/slew control on mobile and port cranes
• Main control lever on excavators and large construction machinery
• Heavy-duty aerial platforms and telehandlers
• Primary operator control on special-purpose and fire trucks
• Remote control units and heavy-duty consoles

JAV90 is the most capable operator interface in Avioni’s mobile machine electronics and functional safety focus.
