Dimensions and Mounting
Detailed diagrams for various mounting methods (V, H) and rotor types are provided in the source document, illustrating dimensions and configurations.
Shafts and Knobs
A variety of shafts and knobs are available, including standard, non-flammable, and custom options. By default, they are delivered unassembled. Specific rotor types (X, W, Y, Z) can be selected for factory-assembled shafts/knobs.
Switch Versions
Available in switch versions with specific electrical ratings and insulation resistance. Configurations can include detents/stops.
Cut Track (Open Circuit)
Option available for a cut track at the beginning (PCI) or end (PCF) of the travel, creating an open circuit.
Recommended Connections
A voltage divider connection scheme is recommended for Piher's position sensors.
