Rotary Potentiometers, Rheostats and REL15RE application field and working principle are fundamental electronic components used in a wide range of electronic circuits. Though these components have some similarities, there are certain differences among each of them.

Rotary Potentiometers

Rotary Potentiometers, also known as "pot" for short, are resistors made of a circular component with a wiper connected to the end. The wiper takes a certain amount of resistance from the circle, determined by the position the wiper is at. As the shaft is turned, the resistance decreases. By adjusting the rotary potentiometer as needed, the current to the circuit can be changed. This is often used in many applications, such as automotive instrumentation, audio mixers and volume controls, and digital potentiometers.

Rheostats

Rheostats are a type of resistor that has two terminals and a sliding contact. These devices are typically used to alter currents in circuits by changing the resistance path. Unlike potentiometers, rheostats are operated by twisting the control element, which creates a continuous flow of current in the circuit. Some common applications for rheostats include dimming lightbulbs, controlling motors, adjusting the speed of fans, and regulating temperature.

REL15RE application field and working principle

The REL15RE is a linear rotary potentiometer that features an ultra low friction segmented plastic disk and 2 linear arms that provide superior performance in all medical and industrial applications. This component operates by allowing the exact volume of current to flow through the resistive element depending on the position of the segmented disc along the linear arms. This creates a control for the current that makes it easy to adjust the required settings in any number of applications.

REL15RE can be used in a variety of applications, such as medical imaging and monitoring systems, medical instruments, industrial controllers and robotics. It is also ideal for surgical instruments, medical beds, patient lifts and wheelchairs. Its high-fidelity performance ensures maximum accuracy, long-term stability, and repeatability with minimal drift.

In addition to its application field, REL15REs also excel in terms of working principle. In order to measure and control the volume of current, two linear arms generate a precision analog voltage signal. As the resistor arm is moved, its position along the track changes the current sent through the resistor, thus altering the analog voltage signal.

The REL15REs’ unparalleled performance has made them an essential component in a variety of applications. Their precision design and robust construction make them ideal for reliable and accurate control in the most demanding applications.
