Rotary Potentiometers and Rheostats are mechanical components that provide variable levels of resistance to the flow of current. The 385500M0567 is an example of a rotary potentiometer that could be used in a wide range of applications with top notch performance. Here we will look at the specific application of the 385500M0567 and its working principle.

Application field of 385500M0567

The 385500M0567 is a rotary potentiometer suitable for industrial and automotive applications. It can be used in motor control systems, audio systems, measuring and control systems, camera systems, refrigeration systems and many other applications. It can operate at temperatures ranging from -20°C to 105°C and has a provided shaft diameter of 6 mm and shaft length of 15.75 mm.

The unit also offers features such as insulation between slider and body, providing safety to the circuit. The potentiometer has a total resistance range of 500Ω-2.2KΩ. It is a very robust design and comes with a die cast zinc alloy body and rubber seal around the body to protect from moisture and dust. The taper of the shaft is linear for smooth operation.

Working Principle of 385500M0567

Rotary potentiometers such as the 385500M0567 operate on the principle of resistance. This is the property of a material which determines how much of an electrical charge can pass through it. The 385500M0567 has a linear resistor embedded in it. When the shaft is rotated, the wiper (brush) contacts the resistor, and the resistance between the terminals varies depending on the rotation. When the slider is in the center position, both ends of the resistor are connected to the two terminals and maximum resistance is provided. As the shaft is rotated counterclockwise, the resistance is reduced and when the shaft is rotated clockwise, the resistance is increased.

Another important characteristic of of the 385500M0567 is the taper of the shaft. This determines how the resistance changes when the pot is turned. For the 385500M0567, the taper is linear, so when the pot is turned, the resistance is increased or decreased at an even rate. This makes it easy to get precise control over the resistance value with the pot and helps to ensure smooth operation.

Conclusion

The 385500M0567 is a rotary potentiometer that can be used in a variety of industrial and automotive applications. It features a die cast zinc alloy body, rubber seal and linear taper for smooth operation. The device operates on the principle of resistance, whereby the resistance between the two terminals is varied depending on the rotation of the shaft. It is a robust, reliable and precise device that can provide accurate resistance control for many applications.
