Carbon composition resistors are made from a moulded carbon powder that has been mixed with a phenolic resin to bind and create a uniform resistive body. It is then surrounded in an insulating case after attaching end leads.

The power rating of a resistor describes the amount of power that the resistor can dissipate safely.

Each of the colour bands has a specific meaning. The first two colours give the base value of the resistor, the next gives the multiplier and the final band the tolerance. If a resistor has five bands, it is a more precise resistor, in which the first three bands represent the base values, and the fourth and fifth represent the multiplier and tolerance respectively.

RS PRO is our own brand range and brings you a wide range of high-quality, great value products offering you more choice. Trusted by engineers all over the world, every part of every RS PRO product has been rigorously tested against demanding industry standards; they’re only given the RS PRO Seal of Approval if we’re confident of their exceptional quality, which means you can be confident too.

The Ruland Clamp single disc coupling with keyways is a high-precision mechanical coupling designed for zero-backlash torque transmission, ensuring accuracy and reliability in motion control applications. Its balanced design minimizes vibration at high speeds, improving stability and efficiency. The coupling consists of two anodized aluminum hubs with integrated keyways for secure shaft attachment, along with thin stainless steel disc springs that allow for angular misalignment and axial movement while maintaining structural rigidity. However, it does not support parallel misalignment, requiring precise shaft alignment for optimal operation.

Lightweight and has low inertia making it well suited for applications with speeds up to 10,000 RPM
Hardware is metric and tests beyond DIN 912 12.9 standards for maximum torque capabilities
It is machined from solid bar stock that is sourced exclusively from North American mills and RoHS3 and REACH compliant

A comprehensive range of high stability carbon film resistors qualified and tested to the requirements of IEC 115 and IEC 115-2. The ruggedised welded cap and lead method of manufacture provides a considerable strength and resistance to damage. The coating materials and the colour bands are epoxy resin and are highly resistant to solvents, abrasion and chipping. Improvements in materials and processing have allowed the rated power to be improved. Excellent stability against changes in load conditions or moisture levels, with a low noise level and high reliability make these carbon film resistors suitable for a wide range of applications. Rated at 70°C in free air mounted horizontally. Climatic category 55/155/56.
