Slide Potentiometers--PTL30-15R1-104B2 Application Field and Working Principle

Slide potentiometers are a type of rotary potentiometers. They take the form of a panel mounted linear strip and consist of a resistive element, along with its necessary terminals, and a slider element. Due to their simple construction, slide potentiometers are low-cost and typically low-power as well. All slide potentiometers share certain common properties but can be specialized to fit specific application requirements. An example of such a specialist slide potentiometer is the PTL30-15R1-104B2.

Application Field

The PTL30-15R1-104B2 is a special kind of slide potentiometer designed for use in industrial applications. It is used for a variety of tasks, including motor speed control, output smoothing, servo control, balancing of shaft angles, automotive control, heating and cooling systems, and more. Because the PTL30-15R1-104B2 has features such as high temperature range, high accuracy, low temperature drift, and a wide variety of output signals, it is perfect for these types of industrial applications.

Working Principle

The PTL30-15R1-104B2 operates on similar principles as other slide potentiometers. This type of potentiometer operates by converting a linear movement into a variable resistance. The slider element is connected to the resistive element, and moves along it in a linear motion. As the slider element moves, its position relative to the resistive element produces a variable resistance. The PTL30-15R1-104B2 also includes an internal contact switch, which switches the output signal at a predetermined position as the slider moves along the resistive element.

Conclusion

Slide potentiometers are a simple, inexpensive, and reliable way to measure linear movement and adjust electric signals accordingly. The PTL30-15R1-104B2 can be used for a variety of industrial applications, and is designed to operate precisely and at a wide range of temperatures. Its simple construction and operation make it an ideal component for many industrial control systems.
