DC Motorized Potentiometer 24V — Buy or Get a Quote

A DC motorized potentiometer combines a potentiometer element with a DC motor and geartrain in a compact package. The motor drives the potentiometer shaft, varying the resistance across the element to produce a proportional output signal. This enables precise, repeatable control of analog-driven devices such as speed controllers, flow meters, and actuators. Models are available with wirewound, conductive plastic, or hybrid elements, each offering different levels of resolution, inductance, and life expectancy.

The 24V DC motorized potentiometers are available in single, dual, and triple gang configurations. Dual gang models support resistance pairings such as 1K/1K, 2K/2K, 5K/5K, 10K/10K, 2K/3K, and 5K/10K, while triple gang models are available with standard 5K/5K/5K values or custom configurations. Dual and triple gang units are ideal for feedback systems requiring multiple simultaneous control channels.

Three element types are available: wirewound, conductive plastic, and hybrid. Wirewound elements offer life expectancies from 500,000 to 2 million turns, making them suitable for general-purpose industrial applications. Conductive plastic elements provide a much longer life expectancy of up to 10 million turns, along with smoother resolution, and are ideal for high-cycle applications. Hybrid elements combine both technologies to deliver lower inductance, better resolution, and a 10 million turn life expectancy, making them well-suited for precision and longevity-critical applications.

24V DC motorized potentiometers serve a wide range of industries. Key applications include industrial automation (process controls, speed controls, flow meters, tensioning motors), aerospace and defense (aircraft, helicopters, and simulators requiring precise analog feedback), medical equipment (accurate repeatable positioning in clinical devices), and robotics (feedback control for robotic joints and actuators in automated production lines).

Yes, the DC motorized potentiometers from On Line Controls, Inc. are CE compliant, making them suitable for use in applications and markets that require this certification.

Power ratings span a wide range to accommodate different application requirements, including 0.5W, 1W, 2W, 5W, 25W, 50W, and 100W options. Higher wattage models such as the 25W and 50W units are designed with motorized rheostats for automating analog-driven devices requiring greater power handling.

All products come with a 3-year warranty along with unlimited phone support. On Line Controls also offers repair and rebuilding services to extend product life, as well as expert technical guidance for selecting the right configuration.
