The PL240 Series is a line of single-turn conductive plastic potentiometers designed for control electronics and measuring applications, featuring a 20 mm housing diameter and a 6 mm brass shaft with a slot. The electrical travel is 270 ±3°, with a mechanical travel of 300°, and the linearity is ±2%. The resistance values available are 1, 5, and 10 kΩ, with a tolerance of ±20%, and the maximum permissible applied voltage is 18 V. Wiper current is recommended to remain under 1 µA, with a maximum of 10 mA during malfunction. The device supports up to 1 × 10⁶ movements, operates from -25 to +125°C, has an IP50 protection rating, and weighs 14 g. Torque is limited to 1 Ncm under normal operation and 100 Ncm at mechanical stops, with a maximum speed of 120 RPM. Repeatability is 0.04% (0.1°), and insulation resistance exceeds 10,000 MΩ at 500 VDC.
This category combines absolute angle measurement Hall effect sensors and potentiometric sensors with resistive elements – including rotary potentiometers and panel mount types. Sub categories include low torque, precision, heavy duty, geared potentiometers, auto sport, magnetic encoders and more.
