‘Slip clutch’ design option now available for Bourns precision potentiometer range
Bourns has announced the release of a “slip clutch” option for the Model 3547/3548/3549 range of 3-turn, 5-turn and 10-turn Precision Wirewound Potentiometers.
This specialty option was developed in response to requests from industrial, medical and aerospace customers who wanted a way to protect the end stops on the potentiometer should their equipment go out of calibration.
The “slip clutch” design is internal and therefore does not alter the physical dimensions of the part. The feature allows the wiper to idle at the extreme clockwise or counter-clockwise ends without inducing damage to the stops on the potentiometer.
This design option is now used in machine-to-machine applications as a safety feature where the mechanical actuator may occasionally rotate the shaft beyond the mechanical stops, or beyond the set number of turns.
