Description
Mechanical specifications
Electrical specifications
The PT-6 potentiometer offers
control where frequent
adjustment is required. The
shaftless design allows for
employment of different
engagement mechanisms, such a s
a customized shaft, a motor
control or a human interface
adjustment.
This potentiometer can also
control v ariable output s including
frequency, change in motor speed
or volume.
Typical applications include test
and measurement equipment,
consumer electronics, appliance s,
timer relays, robotics, motion
controllers, home and building
automation and medical
equipment control panels.
This datasheet shows you the
basics of the PT-6 potentiometer
that is quite versatile and easy to
taylor. Do not hesitate to contact
Piher for advice.
