Why Choose the ABB MJS7-60B Joystick?
The ABB MJS7-60B is a robust 2-position maintained joystick with latching function designed for industrial machinery, control panels and operator stations. Supplied under ABB order code 1SFA611707R6006, it forms part of ABB's modular 22 mm pilot device range and provides a practical manual control interface for directional and machine-control functions.
The MJS7-60B combines a black joystick actuator with a chrome metal bezel and a maintained operating action. Its latching function allows the selected position to remain mechanically engaged until deliberately released, making it suitable for applications requiring a retained operator command rather than automatic spring return.
Designed for demanding industrial environments, the joystick provides IP66, IP67 and IP69K front protection when correctly installed. A 4-position holder is included, while the required contact blocks are selected and ordered separately, allowing the switching arrangement to be configured for the application.

Maintained Joystick Control for Industrial Machinery
Industrial joysticks provide an intuitive manual interface for controlling machinery and process functions. A maintained joystick remains in its selected operating position rather than automatically returning when released, making this operating principle useful where a control command needs to remain selected until the operator intentionally changes it.
The ABB MJS7-60B adds a latching function to its 2-position maintained operation and uses ABB's modular contact block system. This allows the operator and electrical switching elements to be configured as part of a modular control station while providing high ingress protection at the front of the panel.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery and equipment controls.
- Operator stations and control desks.
- Manufacturing and production machinery.
- Material handling and conveyor systems.
- Process control equipment.
- Directional and movement control functions.
- Industrial automation panels.
