Difference Between Aftermarket and Original Industrial Joystick Controllers

Industrial joysticks, commonly referred to as joystick controller, are used to control the movement of industrial equipment or construction vehicles. Different industries have varying requirements for the appearance, performance, and protection levels of these controllers. European and American electronic control industrial joysticks have a long history in the construction machinery sector, offering a wide variety of products and extensive industry applications. 

 

  Original joystick controllers refer to the early models that were widely used and promoted in the industrial field. As technology advanced, domestic demand for industrial joystick controllers also grew, leading to the development of the domestic industry. Early domestic controllers were mainly designed to match the mature products from Europe and America, which we refer to as Aftermarket Replacement Joystick.

Advantages of Aftermarket Industrial Joystick Controllers:
 Aftermarket joystick controllers are based on original designs and are tailored, manufactured, and produced according to domestic industrial conditions, with risk avoidance in mind. The production of these aftermarket products offers the following advantages:
1.Avoiding Design Issues:

 Original products often date back twenty years or more and are affected by the manufacturing processes and raw materials available at the time. When redesigning original products, we focus on addressing and improving their design flaws. As domestic manufacturing levels have improved, many manufacturers (such as Chengong Technology) have gradually refined the structure and improved processes during later production stages. As a result, the aftermarket joystick controllers produced by Chengong Technology not only meet the installation requirements of the original products but also offer a better operating experience and longer lifespan.

2.Material and Cost Advantages:

  Apart from a few components that require imported materials, most materials used in aftermarket industrial joystick controllers are produced by domestic factories, providing a significant cost advantage. Aftermarket controllers have a substantial price advantage. Chengong Technology ensures product quality through efficient supply chain management while significantly reducing production costs. These advantages allow aftermarket joystick controllers to stand out in the market.

3.Development of Aftermarket Joystick Controllers:

  In recent years, domestic original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have seen a sharp increase in sales, with sales networks extending worldwide. Many industrial joystick controllers, due to their excellent quality and price advantage, have been adopted by major OEMs. Aftermarket joystick controllers have gradually expanded from the spare parts market to the front-end market, showcasing broader application prospects.

  Overall, domestic aftermarket joystick controllers not only perfectly match the installation, performance, and control feel of mainstream foreign construction vehicles but also provide users with higher quality and longer lifespan. Domestic manufacturers, represented by Chengong Technology, are continuously innovating and bringing more high-quality options to the industrial joystick controller market.
