Rotary potentiometers, rheostats and RRS16Rs have been used for a variety of applications for decades. Though their names appear to be very similar, each of these components has a different purpose. A rotary potentiometer is designed to provide feedback in a system, a rheostat is used for fine control of electrical current or resistance, and an RRS16R is a combination of the two, providing a more flexible solution to systems that need both feedback and resistance. In this article, we will take a closer look at the application field and working principle of RRS16Rs.

Application Field of RRS16Rs

RRS16Rs are commonly used in industrial and consumer applications. In industrial applications, they are used to control motors, pumps, valves and other equipment. They can also be used for speed and torque control. In consumer applications, they are used in audio and video products such as sound systems, televisions and computers. Additionally, they are used in security systems, medical equipment, sensors and other electronic circuit boards.

Working Principle of RRS16Rs

An RRS16R is a resistive element composed of two resistive strips, an anchor strip and a moving strip, mounted to a rotating shaft or spindle. As the spindle is turned, the mechanical movement of the strips causes the resistance value to change. When the two strips are in contact, the resistance is at its maximum value. As the two strips move away from each other, the resistance value begins to decrease. This is called a “linear taper”, because the resistance decreases linearly in relation to the amount of rotation. The linear taper is used in a variety of applications, including volume control on stereo equipment and speed control for motors.

When the two strips are in contact, a section between them forms a “constant current zone”. This is the area in which the resistance is independent of the amount of rotation. This section can be set to a predetermined resistance value, so that the resistance remains unchanged over a certain range of the rotation. The constant current zone can be used to better control a motor’s speed.

RRS16Rs are available in a variety of shapes and sizes to meet different application needs. Most are available with a variety of resistive elements, such as wire-wound, conductive plastic, and carbon. Depending on the application, RRS16Rs can have a maximum resistance of up to 10,000 ohms. In addition, they can handle up to 5 amps of current depending on the type.

Conclusion

In conclusion, RRS16Rs have numerous application fields and a working principle based on the linear movement of two resistive strips in a predetermined area. This makes them very versatile components, which are used in many industrial and consumer products. Their flexibility and wide range of resistance values make them suitable for a variety of tasks.
