go to P16 Potentiometer Types to select the unswitched model types available in this range.

P16 BASIC DIMENSIONS

In the diagram below the potentiometer terminals are marked A, S and E.

A = Initial termination
S = Wiper (or moving) termination
E = End termination

P16 BUSH OPTIONS

The P16 bushes are available in metal or nylon; with an M7 or M10 thread; and with or without a locating feature:

Diecast Zinc Alloy
- M10 x0.75mm pitch (Type C)
- M7 x0.75mm pitch (Type CG)
- M7 x0.75mm pitch, with locator (Type CEP)
Glass Filled Nylon
- M10 x0.75mm pitch (Type CP)

Do not attempt to prevent any unwanted body rotation by overtightening the retaining nut, since this can cause thread damage, distortion, change of electrical resistance and restrict shaft rotation. BS9130:1972 provides further details on this topic. The recommended torque for tightening the retaining nut is 45cNm and this can be achieved cost effectively by using a Torque Limiting device as shown on our Accessories page.
