RCS75R

RCS75R rotary potentiometers and rheostats are versatile, reliable, and easy to use position sensing devices that can handle small to high current applications. They are available in a wide range of sizes, from small to large, with multiple mounting choices, from surface mount to through hole. RCS75R rotary potentiometers and rheostats provide reliable operation in harsh environments, including extreme temperatures, high levels of humidity, and extreme shock and vibration.

Rotary potentiometers are generally used in applications where variable resistance is required, such as in audio mixers, light dimmer switches, antenna controllers, and motor control systems. They are also used in automotive applications, such as speedometers, cruise control, and fuel gauges. Rheostats are used for applications where a variable resistance is needed to control power or current, such as in resistor networks, heater control circuits, and pulse motor speed control.

The working principle of RCS75R rotary potentiometers and rheostats is simple. They consist of a circular disk with a wiper disk attached to a central shaft. The wiper disk is connected to an electrical lead that can be used to measure or control the current passing through the device. As the shaft is rotated, the wiper disk moves along the surface of the disk, increase or decreasing the resistance to the current flow. RCS75R rotary potentiometers and rheostats can be easily adjusted to provide variable resistance for a wide range of voltage and current levels.

RCS75R rotary potentiometers and rheostats are ideal for many industrial applications where accurate position sensing is required. They are relatively simple and cost effective components that can handle high temperatures, high current, and vibration. They are widely available, easy to install and maintain, and come in a variety of sizes and configurations to meet any application needs.
