The FBS Joystick: Built for Rail, Built to Last ️

Meet the FBS joystick: the railway professional’s choice for precise drive-brake control in light-rail and other vehicles!

Getting passengers to their destination safely demands technology you can trust. From Brake Controllers and Joysticks to the cable chain in Bogie Lifting Systems, we build for the long haul. Designed specifically for the railway sector and fully certified, they offer fault-free operations for decades, ensuring the reliability that’s paramount across main lines, regional trains, trams, subways, and maintenance equipment. Safety is golden.

Derived from the VNS0, the FBS offers exceptional reliability and a long service life, proven through extensive real-world testing. Its robust design is resistant to harsh conditions like ozone and UV radiation, and it comes with a built-in deadman function (mechanical-electrical or capacitive sensors) for superior safety. With various switch options from simple steps to encoders, the FBS is as versatile as it is durable.

 

The FBS Joystick benefits from the following features:

  • Extremely robust drive mechanism made of metal
  • Long service life of mechanical components up to 20 million switching cycles
  • Friction brake and/or spring return
  • Optional mounting of potentiometers, HALL sensors or optoelectronic encoders
  • Optional mechanical interlock in zero position
  • Multiple handle combinations available
