Product Overview
The PT10 potentiometer is a 10 mm carbon potentiometer designed for applications requiring frequent adjustment. Its shaftless design allows for integration with various engagement mechanisms, including customized shafts, motor controls, or human interfaces. This versatile potentiometer is ideal for controlling variable outputs such as frequency, motor speed, or volume. Typical applications span test and measurement equipment, consumer electronics, appliances, small engines, robotics, motion controllers, and medical equipment control panels. The PT10 offers a dust-proof enclosure, polyester substrate, and optional features like magazines for automatic insertion, long-life models, and cut track options.
