One Control. More Than One Function.

In flight control applications, operators need precise, intuitive access to critical functions without taking their hands away from the controls.

The OTTO Controls T2 Large Trim Switch is designed to put that functionality directly at the operator's fingertips.

Its two-way toggle action provides intuitive directional control, while an optional center pushbutton adds another function within the same control. This makes the T2 well suited for integration into flight control grips and other aerospace operator interfaces where multiple functions need to remain readily accessible.

Available in commercial and military-grade configurations, the T2 gives engineers options for building the right control into the application.

For aerospace interfaces, it's not simply about fitting more into the grip.

It's about putting the right control in the right place for the operator.

More Control in a Narrower Profile

The OTTO Controls JHLN Hall Effect Joystick was engineered specifically with that challenge in mind—delivering high-performance single-axis control in a narrower profile designed for armrest or panel mounting.

With friction hold or smooth spring-return-to-center actuation, multiple handle configurations and output options, including analog, CANopen, J1939 and PWM, engineers can configure the JHLN around the needs of the application.

Its electronics are sealed to IP6K8S, helping deliver dependable performance in the demanding environments common to material handling and other commercial equipment.

Compact size. Configurable control.

It's the Small Details That Keep Equipment Working

When engineers think about operator controls, switches and grips often receive the most attention.

It’s important to also think about how the supporting hardware plays a role in long-term performance.

Hardware and accessories, such as pushbutton and toggle boots and panel seals that use silicone rubber for a watertight seal, help protect components from the environments they face while supporting proper installation and long-term durability.

Designing these details into an operator interface from the beginning helps ensure the finished system performs as intended throughout its service life.

At OTTO Controls, we offer a wide range of hardware and accessories designed to complement our operator controls and help OEMs complete the system with confidence.

The components surrounding the control help protect what matters most.

Solving Control Single-Handedly

Configurable control grips continue to play an important role in off-highway equipment design.

OTTO’s G3-E Control Grip gives OEMs several rocker and pushbutton switch options into an ergonomic design that rests within the operator’s hand and supports the unique requirements of each machine.

OEMs often use a pair of left- and right-handed G3-E in the control seat, allowing key functions to be at hand all the time.

That's smarter engineering—and a better operating experience.

Compact Controls. Greater Possibilities.

Modern equipment cabs continue to evolve.

Space is at a premium in smaller operator cabs and on panels and armrests. Ideally, every operator-controlled component should be designed and positioned to contribute to an efficient, ergonomic operator experience.

Compact control solutions help OEMs maximize available space without compromising functionality. By combining proven switches, joysticks and grips into thoughtfully engineered operator interfaces, designers can create cleaner layouts that improve accessibility and reduce unnecessary operator movement.

OTTO works with OEMs to develop compact operator control solutions tailored to each application, helping create intuitive interfaces for today's demanding equipment.

When every inch matters, smart engineering makes the difference.

Real-World Switching Tests the Best

Off-highway equipment is exposed to some of the harshest operating environments imaginable.

Dust, mud, moisture, vibration and temperature extremes constantly put electromechanical components to the test. Components, such as limit switches that work reliably under those conditions, are essential parts of keeping equipment running and performing as expected.

OTTO's P6 Limit Switches are sealed at the plunger and base against water and liquids, built to operate with temperatures as low as –55°C and as high as 105°C, and they’re designed for long-lasting use. These switches are engineered for demanding applications where dependable operation and environmental protection are critical, helping OEMs design equipment built to withstand real-world conditions.
