BEZEL OPTIONS For drop-in mounting, please specify bezel option 6 or 7. For sub-panel mounting, no bezel is necessary, unless the boot is required to seal to the front face of the panel in which case option 4 should be specified. Bezels 6 & 7 clamp the boot and top face of the joystick body to the panel when bezel 4 clamps only the boot. Some handles may be larger than some panel cut-outs. This may restrict the choice for mounting and bezel options. Please refer to APEM for assistance. SPRINGING As standard 8000 series are offered sprung to center. The standard spring force requires1.6N (nominally) to off-center the joystick. The 8000 series may be specified with a lighter spring (1N). NOTE: Forces quoted are subject to exact joystick configuration and are provided as a guide only. Note: The company reserves the right to change specifications without notice.
