Rotary potentiometers and rheostats have evolved over the decades to become integral components in modern day electronics and engineering. Understanding the application fields and working principle of these devices is essential in order to accurately design and engineer a successful outcome.

Rotary Potentiometers

Rotary potentiometers are resistive devices which involve a resistive element usually composed of a continuous circular track. A variable resistor, known as a wiper establishes an electrical connection to a resistive element and it is able to move along the circumference of that track to the fixed contact. Measurement of the angular displacement of the resistive element is known as a potentiometer and the individual values of the resistance of the resistive element in various positions can be measured. This device is used to manually adjust electrical signals and setting values.

The 380000M8643 Rotary Potentiometer, have a round shape, with three terminals connected in series: a normally open contact, a normally closed contact and the main contact. The main contact is made up of carbon and plastic elements. It is a two-gang, one-section rotary potentiometer capable of forming a variety of resistances as the rotary handle is rotated. There is 6 natural resistive elements and one specially built-in resistive element. The contacts are designed to click at every angular position in order to give a precise indication of its setting. It is designed to be used in a variety of applications including measuring voltage, resistance and current.

The Working Principle Of the 380000M8643 is based on a three-terminal adjustable resistor which is arranged in a “Common Ganging” type. The wiper terminal is connected in the middle between the normally open terminal and the normally closed terminal. The resistance of the total circuit (including all three terminals) is determined by the degree to which the wiper is rotated. Depending on the direction of rotation, various levels of resistances can be achieved.

Rheostats

Rheostats are variable resistors that are simple to use and provide a functional yet consistent means of controlling electrical current. Rheostats usually consist of an electrically-conductive helix, made of metal or a semiconductor, that is coiled over a non-conductive carrier. This coiled wire is brought into contact with a treble-pole, two-throw switch, which when activated, will allow varying amounts of electricity to flow through the wire. This current is necessary for a variety of applications, such as controlling a motor\'s output speed.

The 380000M8644 Rheostat is a two-pole, two-throw switch formed by two electrical contacts. On one side, the two contacts are joined together and on the other side they are connected to the adjustable helix. The resistance of the adjustable helix controls the amount of current that can flow through the switch, thus controlling the speed or voltage of motors or other electrical circuits. The 380000M8644 also has a power rating of 3-10 watts, and a power dissipation of up to 20 watts. It is suitable for use in a variety of industrial and commercial applications where variable and accurate control of current is needed.

The Working Principle Of the 380000M8644 is similar to that of the 380000M8643, but instead of a potentiometer, it utilizes a rheostat. A rheostat is an adjustable electrical resistance that is used to regulate the amount of current flowing through the switch. It is controlled by a three-pole switch and is adjustable by turning the rheostat knob. Depending on the direction of rotation, the resistance of the rheostat is changed, thus controlling the amount of current that flows through the circuit.

In conclusion, the 380000M8643 and the 380000M8644 are types of rotary potentiometers and rheostats that have been specially designed to be used in a variety of engineering and industrial applications, providing accurate and consistent control over current flows. Understanding the working principle for these devices is essential in order to properly design and engineer a successful outcome.
