Rotary Potentiometers, Rheostats, RGS100E application field and working principle

The RGS100E rotary potentiometers, rheostats and switch are widely used in a variety of applications across many industries. RGS100E features a pot core design and housing with built-in overwear protection. It is suitable for applications such as automotive, medical, industrial, and military where space, cost and reliability are critical.

The RGS100E is designed to provide superior performance and has an exceptional life when operated within its environmental and operational limits. The potentiometers are available in different sizes, styles, and custom designs to meet various requirements.

Potentiometers, or pots, are electronic components which vary an electric resistance, same as a rheostat, but in only one direction. The rheostat in comparison is capable to manage the current in both directions. The rheostat features two terminals and a variable third voltage-level connection in between.

A pot consists of a rotating shaft attached to a resistive element such as metal film or carbon. The resistance of the element changes when the shaft is turned which provides and adjustable current to be driven through the circuit. The pot is connected in series into the circuit and a variable resistance is created between the wiper and the resistor element.

RGS100E applies its own specific working principle. The pot is designed to have a housing containing the rotary shaft and varied resistive element. The housing is usually made of metal or plastic depending on the application. The potentiometer is connected in series with the part of the circuit, usually a power supply or a motor. When the wiper moves along the element, the resistance level changes depending on the direction and distance travelled. The variable resistance has thus been created.

RGS100E is extensively used in automotive, medical, industrial and military applications. The high-precision and high-performance control of the pot can be manually or electronically controlled. Manual control allows the user to manually adjust the resistance while it is in operation, which is usually done with a rotary knob or dial. Electronic control, on the other hand, allows the user to adjust the resistance with a microcontroller or other computerized systems.

RGS100E\'s applications are not limited to automotive and military applications; the high precision and reliability of the pot make it suitable for medical and industrial applications too. In medicine, the pot is used for medical instrumentation, to control x-ray machines, and even to adjust robotic arms. In the industry, it is used for controlling electric motors, steering systems, and even industrial automation tasks.

The working principle of RGS100E is simple yet efficient. The pot uses a built-in wear-resistant design, and is used to create a variable resistance between two terminals. As the shaft is rotated, the resistance level changes depending on the direction and distance travelled. This resistance is then used to control and adjust current to the circuit. By using a pot correctly, you will be able to control the current and voltage in the circuit, and even remotely control the potentiometer from a computer.
