PTL60-10W0-104B2

Slide Potentiometers

Slide Potentiometers, commonly abbreviated as "slide pots," are electrical position sensing devices that are often used in robotics, automation, and music equipment. A slide pot is comprised of an array of contacts connected to a resistive track. The track moves within an enclosed casing and is attached to a slider handle. As the handle is moved, it slides along the track and interacts with the contacts, providing a low-level voltage signal that can be used for electronic positioning tasks, such as controlling and manipulating motor speeds and directing and monitoring robotic arm and camera movements.

The PTL60-10W0-104B2 is a slide pot device specifically designed for use in robotics and automation, and its working principle is based on the same principle used in traditional slide pots. It consists of three parts: a baseboard, a sliding element, and an array of contact elements. The slider moves along the baseboard, allowing the contacts to make contact with the resistive trace on the baseboard. This interaction with the contact elements generates an electrical signal that can be used to remotely control and monitor the position of the sliding element.

The PTL60-10W0-104B2 is most commonly used in robotics and automation for applications such as controlling and monitoring motor speeds and robotic arm and camera movements. It can also be used in musical equipment to control and monitor signals related to pitch, tempo, volume, and equalization. It is designed to provide a low-level voltage signal, which can be used in other settings such as medical equipment for controlling and monitoring the flow rate of liquids. Because of its accuracy and precision, it can also be used for calibration or testing of other devices or systems, or as a potentiometer in a microcontroller-based circuit.

The PTL60-10W0-104B2 slide pot device is a highly accurate and reliable way to control and monitor positions and signals, making it an ideal choice for various robotics, automation, and musical applications. Its compact design and low-level voltage signal also make it suitable for other, more diverse types of equipment and systems.
