Industrial Panel Controls
Industrial Panel Controls
Bourns® industrial panel controls are integral to applications requiring reliable Human to Machine Interface (HMI). The company employs lean manufacturing and innovative technology to produce dependable industrial-grade panel controls. These controls come in various sizes and materials, offering features like long rotational life, diverse tapers, and terminal styles.
Important Performance Parameters
- Rotational Life: This measures the durability of panel controls under specific conditions. Conductive polymer elements offer up to four times the rotational life of cermet elements.
- Linearity: This refers to the relationship between output voltage and shaft rotation, with all standard controls characterized by independent linearity.
- Taper: Taper defines the output curve of the voltage ratio, with four standard types: Linear, Clockwise audio, Counterclockwise audio, and Modified linear.
Product Applications
- Medical: Used in alarms, amplifiers, blood analyzers, and more.
- Avionics: Applied in radio controls and cockpit light dimmers.
- Portable Electronics: Utilized in 2-way radios, appliances, and scanners.
- Telecommunications: Found in 2-way radios, access equipment, and satellite systems.
- Test and Measurement: Used in appliance testers, oscilloscopes, and power supply testers.
