Suzo Inductive Joysticks

(1/2) > >>

muzland:
Just picked up a couple of these off ebay. Not tried them out yet in the cab (lack of 5V nearby).

Bought them as they are supposed to work like the perfect 360 which a lot of people recommend and they have the usual suzo short throw.

I have a problem with them though. When I am moving the sticks they are not moving smoothly and making a clicking sound. One of the advantages of this style of joystick is the lack of the microswitch clicks so it rather defeats the object. I could live with it though if the movement was smooth.

I took them apart but I could not get the sir-clip (Is this spelt right???) off. I will have to buy a tool to remove this one as it wont budge.

Anyone any ideas as to what might be causing the clicking? Does this happen on other joysticks?

Cheers

It's about Happ Perfect 360 but maybe will help.
Look here:

It is in Polish language but scroll page to section 'Tuning' and there is picture.
On left side of picture is original P360 (with click), on right side is modified P360 (no clikck after this modification).

circlip or cir-clip, AFAIK.

I don't really understand what you mean ? Do you mean when you move it from the center to, for example the top and back ? Is shouldn't click, except if you mean where it hits the "end" of the movable area.

On the other hand, if you're making a circular movement, you will hear (and more feel) "clicks". These are little bumps that helpyou hit the right direction, but I wouldn't call that a clicking sound.

Cheers for the spelling Tiger-Heli.

The clicking noise sounds and feels like the spring is slipping inside the joystick housing is the best way I can describe it. If I twist the joystick handle around the clikcing and motion is better in some positions than others if this makes sense. Could it be the plastic housing is worn and the spring is catching???? It is definitely not the noise it makes when it hits the end of the moveable area.

I will know more when I get my cir-clip remover. I will be able to compare it against the other suzo joystick I have and I may even swap housings and see what happens.
