XD2PA14 series joystick controller and switch options give precise, userfriendly control for industrial and commercial applications. Available as a spring joystick switch (XD2PA14) and as a selflocking rotary switch variant (XD2PA14CR), this family covers momentary directional control and maintainedposition switching in one compatible product line. Why you need it Provides intuitive, reliable control for machinery and equipment where precise directional input or secure selection is required. Two switch styles cover common control needs: a spring joystick for instant neutral reset and a selflocking rotary for maintained positions or mode selection. Simplifies panel design by offering consistent form and function across joystick and rotary variants from the same model family. Key benefits Clear, predictable behavior: spring joystick returns to center automatically for safe, momentary operation; the XD2PA14CR rotary version locks in position for maintained settings. Improved operator efficiency and safety through repeatable tactile feedback and stable switching characteristics. Suitable for retrofit or designs where dependable manual control is required. Key attributes Models: XD2PA14 (spring joystick switch), XD2PA14CR (rotary switch, selflocking). Functionality: directional joystick control with spring (momentary) and rotary selflocking (maintained) switching options. Performance: engineered for repeatable switching behavior and reliable operation under frequent use. Compatibility: designed for integration into control panels, operator consoles, and equipment interfaces that use standard manual switch inputs. Design: compact, operatororiented controls that support straightforward user interaction and clear on/off or directional selection. What makes it unique Two complementary switching philosophies in one model family let you choose the control behavior that fits the application without changing brand or mounting footprint. The spring joystick is ideal when an automatic neutral position is required; the XD2PA14CR rotary selflocking option is ideal when a maintained setting or mode must be securely held. Typical applications Industrial control panels and operator stations — use the spring joystick for momentary directional control (conveyors, positioning axes) and the selflocking rotary for mode selection or persistent settings. Mobile equipment and material handling — joystick for safe, automatic centering of control levers; rotary selflocking for selecting drive modes or lockouts. Automation and robotics — manual overrides, jog controls, and mode selectors where predictable tactile operation and a maintained selection option are needed. Installation and use notes Choose the spring XD2PA14 when automatic neutral is required for safety or process control. Choose the XD2PA14CR rotary selflocking version when a maintained selection or on/off state must be held without continuous operator force. Integrates with standard switch wiring practices; select the appropriate wiring and mounting arrangement for your control panel layout. Reliable control, clear choices The XD2PA14 family provides straightforward, dependable manual switching choices for professionals who need consistent performance and clear operational behavior. Select the spring joystick for momentary directional control or the XD2PA14CR rotary for selflocking maintained positions to match the needs of your system.
