Schneider Electric XB5 470 kΩ Rotary Potentiometer 1-Gang Panel Mount, XB5AD912R470K

This Harmony XB5, 22mm diameter potentiometer has a resistance of 470kΩ and uses screw clamp terminals. This potentiometer provides an external interface for controlling key parameters of automation components like drives and inverters. It is easily installed into standard 22mm diameter cut-outs and connected with simple screw-clamp connections. It is impact resistant, dust resistant, water resistant and vibration resistant thanks to its IP66 IP69 IP69K, making it ideal for operation in harsh environments. It is ideal for analog control (like speed control of motor) via the voltage or resistor input of variable speed drives. It is designed to fit in a standard 22mm cutout, ensuring compatibility when installing in pre-existing machinery.

From Schneider Electric this is the modular Harmony XB5 range of 22 mm diameter complete Potentiometers. The potentiometers have a modern ergonomic design giving you improved reliability for machines. Panels and processes. Easy to install, flexible, flush mounting, integrated resistor, hardwearing, cost effective suitable for all industrial applications. The Harmony XB5 Potentiometer range is an innovative, switch, control and signalling components.

A potentiometer (Pot) works through the two terminals they have, are fixed to a resistive element or what we may refer to as a track. A third terminal is connected to the wiper, which is a sliding contact. As the wiper moves along the track, the resistance changes and the current that is flowing through the circuit changes
