Rotary Potentiometers, Rheostats

A rotary potentiometer or rheostat is an electronic component primarily used to measure the position of a rotating shaft, or to control the output of a voltage or current in a DC circuit. In terms of its operation, the device is similar to that of a potentiometer, but the difference lies in the fact that the rotary type works by means of a rotating shaft. The rotary type is thus equivalent to the potentiometer in terms of its application field and working principle.The most common type of application for a rotary potentiometer is for measuring the angular position of a rotating shaft. The device is usually connected to a shaft and the resulting output signal is linearly proportional to the angular position of the rotating shaft. The device is usually designed to provide an output voltage that is proportional to the angular position of the rotating shaft.A rheostat is a variant of the rotary potentiometer, and is used to control the output of a voltage or current in a DC circuit. The device works by using a voltage source to control the resistance of the rheostat. As the voltage source is changed, the resistance of the rheostat is varied to produce an output signal that is proportional to the voltage source. The output signal is usually proportional to the input voltage.The most common type of applications for the rotary potentiometer and its variant, the rheostat, are in the fields of automation, control engineering, robotics, instrumentation, and medical equipment. They are used to measure and control the position of mechanical devices such as actuators, drives, servomotors, and valves. They are also used to measure and control the output of DC current and voltage sources.The rotary type potentiometer is designed with two or more resistances. It also has a connecting point called a wiper that moves along the resistor to control the signal output. The wiper thus acts as a tap that allows the user to adjust the device\'s output.The rheostat is similar in design to the rotary type, but instead of a wiper it uses a metal strip, called a resistance element. The resistance element is connected to the voltage source and the output signal is proportional to the amount of voltage applied. In operation, as the voltage source is adjusted, the resistance element is varied so as to produce a proportional output signal.Both the rotary potentiometer and the rheostat are used in a variety of applications, ranging from the measurement of output levels to the control of currents and voltages in DC circuits. As such, they are widely used in a number of industries, including automotive, medical, industrial, and telecommunications. They are also an essential component for instrumentation and control systems.
