In many applications, control of the machine or piece of equipment needs to be in the hands of the operator, with close proximity to the equipment. When this is true, an electronic hydraulic joystick can be an invaluable addition to the hydraulic system.

These hydraulic joysticks can be as simple a single axis lever, commanding a piece of equipment and helping to propel forward and reverse at varying speeds, depending how the joystick is operated by the operator. The joysticks could also be very complicated control devices with multiple axes of movement commands and with push buttons for other auxiliary functions, such as could be found on an excavator.  

In addition to the joystick hardware, most systems require the associated electronics and software that can be designed into the joystick to give them intelligence for smooth control and safety. The nearly unlimited potential for both applications and features of these electronic joysticks offers design engineers a wide variety of operational choices for a machine or a piece of equipment.
