CLU1021E

A Rotary Potentiometer, often abbreviated as “POT”, is a component used in an electrical system as a variable resistor. It is typically used to control the current flow or voltage levels in a circuit. Rotary potentiometers usually have three terminals, one for the mechanical connection, one for the wiper (also known as the slider or the rotator) and one for the electrical connection. The mechanical connection is connected to a shaft that is movable and which is typically a spring operated type. The rotator is connected to the shaft and the electric connection is connected to either a resistive element or a voltage divider. The resistance of the Potentiometer can be changed by moving the rotator either in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction.

A Rheostat, also known as a variable resistor, works on the same principle as a rotary potentiometer. It too is used to control the current in a circuit. A rheostat consists of a resistance element with two contacts that are in electrical communication with each other. The two contacts can be attached to either a fixed resistor or a variable resistor element. By varying the distance between the two contacts, the current in the circuit can be increased or decreased, thus providing control over the resistance of the circuit.The CLU1021E is a rotary variable resistor manufactured by Ilford Ltd. It is a three-terminal component with a rotary wiper arm that can be moved along a resistive element. It can be used to control the voltage levels and current flow in a circuit. It is designed for use in medium to high voltage applications such as laser applications, industrial automation, robotics, medical and analytical instruments and more.The CLU1021E has a resistance range of 0 to 999 ohms and operates at temperatures ranging from -30°C to +100°C. The wiper arm is a spring loaded knob that is moved to alter the resistance of the resistive element. The CLU1021E is rated for use in both AC and DC applications.The working principle of the CLU1021E is simple. When the wiper arm is moved along the resistive element, the resistance of the element is altered. This change in resistance will affect the voltage levels and current flowing through the circuit in which the CLU1021E is used. By varying the resistance, it is possible to control the voltage level and current flow in the circuit.In summary, the CLU1021E is a rotary variable resistor designed for use in medium to high voltage applications. It has a resistance range of 0 to 999 ohms and operates at temperatures from -30°C to +100°C. The working principle of the CLU1021E is simple; the wiper arm is moved along the resistive element, thus altering the resistance of the element and ultimately affecting the voltage and current flow in the circuit. It is therefore used in applications such as laser applications, industrial automation, robotics, medical and analytical instruments and more.
