Multiturn pots offer safety feature

A “slip clutch” option is now available in the Models 3547, 3548, and 3549 multiturn potentiometers to help prevent device damage in mechanized or machine-to-machine applications where the mechanical actuator may occasionally rotate the shaft beyond the mechanical stops, or beyond the set number of turns.

The slip clutch option is an internal design feature that does not alter the physical dimensions of the component and allows the device to idle at the extreme clockwise or counter-clockwise ends without inducing damage to the stops on the potentiometer. (Model 3547 3-turn and Model 3548 5-turn with slip clutch option, $16.99 to $18.31 ea/1,000; Model 3549 10-turn with slip clutch option, $14.44 to $15.49 ea/1,000 — available now.)
