Rotary potentiometers are a type of electrical component that works by providing an adjustable voltage or current for monitoring and control. A rheostat is an adjustable resistor used for electrical purposes and is often used to control the current in an electrical circuit. The 5613R1KL.25 is a potentiometer and rheostat that can be used for applications in the automotive, aerospace, industrial and telecommunications industries.
The 5613R1KL.25 has an integral shaft and stud, which are made from a stainless steel material. It is a rotary dual component with a housing for the potentiometer and rheostat. It can be used for a variety of different applications such as speedometer, tachometer, throttle, and gear box control. It can also be used for adjusting potentiometer applications such as volume, power, frequency, and speed control. With these capabilities, it is a versatile and reliable component to use for many applications.
Working Principle
The 5613R1KL.25 consists of two carbon resistive elements that are situated together. The resistive elements form an adjustable voltage divider, which can be used to determine the position of the shaft and provide the output voltage or resistance. The operation of the 5613R1KL.25 occurs when a voltage is applied to the unit, such as those provided by a 5-12VDC power source. The current flows through the resistive elements of the dual component, which cause an electrical field to be generated across the two segments.
When the user turns the shaft, the output voltage and resistance change depending on the amount of shaft movement and the angle of the contact surface. The maximum resistance of the unit is limited to 250 V, while the output voltage can range between 0 and 10 VDC depending on the resistor combination. The 5613R1KL.25 can be used to control motor speed, lighting intensity, or small electric circuits for process control, among many other applications.
Conclusion
The 5613R1KL.25 is a popular and versatile potentiometer and rheostat component that can be used in various applications in the automotive, aerospace, industrial and telecommunications industries. With its robust design and adjustable voltage or current properties, the 5613R1KL.25 is an ideal component to use for motor speed, lighting, and process control applications. By understanding the working principle of the 5613R1KL.25, users can be sure of reliable and accurate performance for all types of applications.
