Product Overview
The PT10 potentiometer is a 10 mm carbon resistive element designed for applications requiring frequent adjustment. Its shaftless design allows for various engagement mechanisms, making it suitable for controlling variable outputs such as frequency, motor speed, or volume. Typical applications include test and measurement equipment, consumer electronics, appliances, small engines, robotics, motion controllers, and medical equipment control panels. This versatile and easily customizable potentiometer offers precise control and can function as a cost-effective replacement for absolute encoders.
