Rotary Potentiometers, Rheostats

The 6614R10KL.25RS is an excellent example of a rotary potentiometer or rheostat. It is a rotating mechanical device with an electrical circuit, used to control the amount of current flowing through it. By adjusting the resistor, a user can precisely control the voltage or current level in an electrical circuit.

Application Field

Potentiometers, rheostats, and other types of rotary devices are widely used in many different electrical applications. They can be found in home lighting systems, industrial instruments, medical equipment, automotive control systems, and virtually any other type of circuit that requires precise control of current or voltage.

The 6614R10KL.25RS is designed for use as a linear potentiometer in a wide range of applications. The basic design is well suited for use in high-voltage environments, as it can handle voltages up to 250V. Due to its robust construction, it is also suitable for high-accuracy measurements.

It is also an excellent choice for use as a variable resistance element in a motor speed control system. This is due to its ability to accurately adjust the tip voltage and thus the speed of the motor. This makes it possible to easily control the speed of the motor in different operating conditions.

Working Principle

The 6614R10KL.25RS operates based on the principle of resistive rotation. This means that the resistance of the resistor varies with the angle of the armature. When the armature is turned, the resistance increases, resulting in a decrease in the voltage output. Similarly, when the armature is turned in the opposite direction, the resistance decreases and the output voltage increases.

The resistance also depends on the number of rotations made and the position of the armature. This means that the resistance can be adjusted for a broad range of values, making the 6614R10KL.25RS very versatile. This feature can be used to control the speed of the motor in various operating conditions.

In addition, the 6614R10KL.25RS is equipped with a built-in temperature compensation that helps to ensure a more precise adjustment. This is especially important in high-temperature environments, as temperature fluctuations can easily cause an undesired alteration of the output voltage.

The 6614R10KL.25RS is an excellent choice for a wide range of applications due to its robust construction and its ability to accurately adjust the voltage or current. It is easy to install and easy to adjust, making it an ideal choice for many different applications.
