Why Choose the ABB MJS6-60B Joystick?
The ABB MJS6-60B is a robust 4-position momentary joystick operator designed for manual directional control in industrial machinery and automation systems. Identified by ABB order code 1SFA611706R6006, it provides four actuation directions with spring-return operation for intuitive machine and process control.
Part of ABB's modular plastic pilot-device range, the MJS6-60B features a black, non-illuminated joystick actuator with a durable chrome-metal bezel. The operator is supplied without a contact block, allowing compatible ABB modular contact blocks to be selected separately according to the required control circuit.
Designed for standard 22 mm pilot-device installations, the MJS6-60B combines compact panel mounting with high environmental protection and a mechanical durability of approximately 0.5 million operations. Its momentary action automatically returns the joystick from an actuated direction, making it particularly suitable for commands that should remain active only while the operator is deliberately engaged.

Momentary Directional Control for Industrial Machinery
Momentary industrial joysticks allow several directional commands to be combined into one compact operator device. With four actuation directions and automatic spring return, the ABB MJS6-60B is well suited to applications where a movement or machine function should remain commanded only while the joystick is intentionally held in the corresponding direction.
The modular construction allows suitable ABB contact blocks to be selected separately for the required control arrangement. This flexibility makes the MJS6-60B suitable for machinery ranging from material-handling systems to positioning equipment and industrial operator consoles.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery and machine tools.
- Material-handling and conveying equipment.
- Hoisting and positioning systems.
- Operator control panels and consoles.
- Production and processing machinery.
- Factory automation and directional-control systems.
