920, 930, 940 SERIES
Precision Motor Potentiometers
BI Motor Potentiometers use a precision potentiometer
connected to a DC motor by a gear box and clutch. There
are eight potentiometer types and 15 gear ratios available
combined with a 10,700 RPM motor.
2
In addition, motor potentiometers with special features
such as center-taps, multi-taps, special shafts, and special
gear ratios, etc., can be provided on special orders.
Several potentiometer sections can be ganged on a single
rotor potentiometer shaft.
