Rotary Potentiometers and Rheostats

Rotary Potentiometers and Rheostats are two of the most common types of electronic components. They are used to measure and control electrical energy, and they act as a form of power control.

An Introduction to Rotary Potentiometers

Rotary potentiometers (otherwise known as "pots" for short) are electrical components which act as variable resistors. They are used to regulate the current that flows through a circuit. The most common type of this component is a single turn (or single layer) potentiometer. This type of potentiometer uses a resistive element to adjust the voltage and current amplitude that passes through it. The amount of voltage and current is determined by the resistance value.Rotary potentiometers are typically used in audio applications and for controlling the gain of amplifiers. They can also be used for measuring angular displacement. This is usually accomplished by connecting the device to a potentiometer track (or potentiometer wheel) which has markings along its circumference. When the wheel is turned, the resistance of the potentiometer changes accordingly.

An Introduction to Rheostats

Rheostats are also known as variable resistors and are used for the same purpose as rotary potentiometers. However, they work differently. Instead of using a single layer of resistive material, rheostats contain a series of resistors which are connected in parallel. This allows the user to adjust the resistance of the device in small increments.Rheostats are commonly used to control the speed of electric motors and to limit the current passing through a circuit. They can also be used for light dimming applications.

485008661571392 Application Field and Working Principle

This type of rotary potentiometer (485008661571392) is a single-turn, 12-mm size, with a 3/4" shaft length. It is available with a linear or linear-taper actuation, and its resistance range is 5k ohms. It is a through-hole-leaded component, and it has a tolerance of +-20%.The working principle of the rotary potentiometer (485008661571392) is quite simple. When the shaft is turned by hand, it adjusts the potentiometer\'s resistance in small increments, which is then read directly in ohms. The resistive element is adjusted in a linear manner, meaning that the resistance is increased or decreased by a constant amount when the shaft is turned.The 485008661571392 rotary potentiometer is widely used in a variety of applications, ranging from industrial machines and pumps, to audio systems, musical instruments, and even medical devices.

Conclusion

In conclusion, rotary potentiometers and rheostats are two of the most common electrical components. Both of these devices work by changing the resistance of a resistive material in order to measure and control the amount of current that passes through a circuit. They can be used in a variety of applications, ranging from audio systems to industrial machines and pumps. The 485008661571392 rotary potentiometer is a single-turn, 12-mm size device which is available with linear or linear-taper actuation and a resistance range of 5k ohms.
