Potentiometers

Potentiometers are adjustable resistors that let a setpoint be trimmed by hand, turning a knob's position into the analog signal a drive or controller reads as a speed or level command. Panel builders fit one when an operator needs to adjust a speed without entering it on a screen, when a scratchy pot has made a setting jump, or when a panel needs a manual override beside its automatic control.

 

As an authorized electrical distributor for multiple manufacturers, we stock potentiometers from ABB, Schneider Electric and more across competing lines, in a range of resistance values, types and dimensions, so you can match the resistance and shaft the panel expects, compare resistance values and types across brands, and give an operator a dial rather than a menu.
