Rotary Potentiometers, Rheostats

6143R5KL.5 application field and working principle

Rotary potentiometers, rheostats, or generally known as pots, are a wide family of sensors that includes various types of electrical circuits. They are primarily used to measure the absolute position of rotary joints like buttons, knobs, and rotating shafts, and can also control the flow of current in a way similar to a variable resistor.

Pots are widely utilized in industries such as automotive, aerospace and defense, telecommunications, medical and consumer appliances. They offer high precision functionality and have become indispensable tools in the modern world of engineering.

The 6143R5KL.5 is a rotary potentiometer, rheostat. This type of pot is used for determining the absolute angular position of rotating shafts. It is an ultra-precision, low-profile, linear contact-type, non-magnetic, single-turn pot with a carbon element. This rotary potentiometer has a 20mm travel stroke and a 10-kΩ resistance at 5Vdc.

The 6143R5KL.5 works by sensing the position of its sliding carbon contact inside its surrounding cylindrical enclosure. When the contact rotates, it slides across the printed contact track; this creates a voltage divider connection and causes the resistance between them to vary. As the contact slides along, the resistance varies simultaneously, creating a linear voltage relationship between the contacts. This voltage is then available to be measured.

The 6143R5KL.5 is well-suited for applications that require a precise measurement of the angular position of a rotating shaft. Since it is non-magnetic, it can be used in harsh environments. Additionally, its compact size and low-profile design make it an ideal fit for applications that require a space-saving design. Additionally, its carbon element provides higher contact pressure and durability compared to other elements.

In conclusion, the 6143R5KL.5 is a rotary potentiometer, rheostat suitable for applications that require a precise absolute rotational positioning. Its non-magnetic construction, compact size, and linear voltage divider connection make it a great fit for any application.
