Why Choose the ABB MJS8-60B Joystick?
The ABB MJS8-60B is a robust 2-position momentary joystick with latching function designed for industrial machinery, control panels and operator stations. Supplied under ABB order code 1SFA611708R6006, it forms part of ABB's modular pilot device range and provides an intuitive manual control interface for directional and machine-control functions.
The MJS8-60B combines a black joystick actuator with a durable chrome metal bezel. Its momentary, spring-return action allows the joystick to return when released, while the integrated latching function provides controlled operation suited to demanding industrial interfaces.
Designed for heavy-duty environments, the MJS8-60B offers high ingress protection and is engineered to withstand the shock, vibration, temperature variation and wash-down conditions encountered in industrial applications. The operator is supplied with a holder, while compatible contact blocks are selected separately to suit the required control circuit.

Momentary Joystick Control for Industrial Machinery
Momentary industrial joysticks provide an intuitive manual interface for controlling machinery and process functions. Unlike a maintained operator, a spring-return joystick returns when the operator releases it, making this operating principle particularly useful for movement and directional commands that should remain active only while deliberately operated.
The ABB MJS8-60B combines 2-position momentary operation with a latching function and heavy-duty construction. Its modular design allows compatible ABB contact blocks to be selected for the required electrical switching arrangement, while the high degree of environmental protection supports installation in demanding industrial control environments.
