Rotary Potentiometers

A rotary potentiometer, also known as a pot or knob, is an electrical component that is designed to handle variable resistance values. The rotary potentiometers is made up of a wiper, rotational elements, and resistive elements. The resistive elements include a resistance element and a tracking element. The rotary potentiometer works by using the resistance element to generate an electrical current when the wiper is rotated. This current is then used to adjust certain parameters and to control the output of the system. The tracking element is used to track the direction of the wiper movement and ensure that the output is always consistent.

51CAD-E16-B15L Application Field and Working Principle

The 51CAD-E16-B15L is a miniature bipolar 12-turn rotary potentiometer designed for industrial applications. It is designed to provide fast response, accuracy and reliability in its operation. It has three electrical terminals: a center terminal for the wiper, a first end terminal for the common, and a second end terminal for the “variable return”.

The principle of operation is based on the conversion of mechanical angular displacement into resistor voltage. When the knob is rotated, the wiper travels on the resistor, changing the resistance between the moveable element and the two terminals. This results in a voltage divide between the wiper and the two end terminals. Thus, the output voltage will vary with the rotation of the knob.

The 51CAD-E16-B15L is suitable for various mapping, tracking, and control applications in the industrial field. It can be used to measure or monitor angular position and velocity, and to control electrical current, frequency, or voltage levels in a system. In addition, the rotary potentiometer can be used to select comfort settings such as fan speed, climate control functions, or other custom functions. It is compatible with most industrial controllers and can be connected directly to the motor controllers.

Rheostats

A rheostat is a type of variable resistor used to regulate the flow of electrical current in circuits. It is constructed with a wire wound around an insulating material. The resistance can be varied by turning the knob connected to the rheostat, which will move the wiper up and down the coil. The amount of resistance will depend on the length of the coil and the material used for the coil’s winding.

Rheostats are widely used in industrial applications, such as temperature control, lighting systems, and motor speed control. They are also used to measure and monitor electrical output in electronic equipment. In addition, they are used in guitars and other musical instruments to shape the sound and tone of the instrument.

Rheostats are also available in linear form. A linear rheostat is a type of variable resistor in which the resistance change in a uniform manner, as the knob is turned from one end to the other. This makes it suitable for applications such as volume control and voltage regulation.
