Nidec Copal JC10 Single-turn Conductive Plastic PotentiometerIndonesia Industrial Parts

Description of Nidec Copal JC10 Single-turn Conductive Plastic Potentiometer

The JC10 potentiometer from Nidec Copal is a shift sensor that converts mechanical movement into an electrical signal in the form of an output voltage. Its operation is based on the working principle of a variable resistor, where the relative movement between the resistor and the moving contact (wiper) will produce a voltage change proportional to the magnitude of the mechanical shift.

Model of potentiometer

Wirewound Type

Precision wire winding technology has been used to achieve low noise and long life. Wirewound types include the single-turn J series for use in servo drives and the multiturn M series for use in settings.

Conductive Plastic Type

Special film resistors and original contact construction provide long life, with degradation that is theoretically infinitely small. Conductive plastic types include single-turn types and linear types, both for use in servo drives.

Cerment Type

The use of cermet resistors allows for low prices. The degradation is theoretically infinitely small. Cermet types are single-turn for use in servo drives and for settings.

Optical Contactless Type

The contactless configuration offers a much longer life and lower noise compared with the conventional contact method.
