Mechanical specifications

Electrical specifications

The PT10 potentiometer offers

control where frequent

adjustment is required. The

shaftless design allows for

employment of different

engagement mechanisms, such

as a customized shaft, a motor

control or a human interface

adjustment.

This potentiometer can also

contr ol variabl e outputs including

frequency, change in motor speed

or volume.

Typical applications include test

and measurement equipment,

consumer electronics,

appliances, small engines,

robotics, motion c ontrollers, and

medical equipment control

panels.

This datasheet shows you the

basics of the PT10 potentiometer

that is quite versatil e and easy t o

taylor. Do not hesitate to contact

Piher for advice.

PIHER’s potentiometers can

feature special stepped outputs

or ‘constant voltage zones’ for

the 10mm and 15mm product

families.

These constant voltage zones

can be combined with PIHER’s

mechanical detents to provide

exact alignment between the

electrical output (flat areas)

and the mechanical detent

position. The result is a higher

level of precision in controlling

lighting, temperature, motor or

other electronic control

systems.

In addition to established

catalogue detent

configurations, we will design

and manufacture any other

configuration on our tried-and-

tested carbon/cermet &

THM/SMD potentiometer

technology and processes.

With its precise control

capabilities, our 10mm and

15mm potentiometers series

are well suited for many

consumer applications such as

lighting (dimmers), power hand

tools, relays, timers and HVAC

systems.

100%

0º 234º

SA E

By combining the constant value zones with the detents, engineers

can align the same voltage values with each of the detent stops

when rotating the control both forward and backward.

This provides clear mechanical positions that are not only repeatable,

but perfectly aligned electrical outputs at each of the (detent) angles.

Piher’s detents also prevent output values from changing due to

vibration or accidental rotor movements, furthering reliable control

consistency.
