Different names of potentiometers in different industries

The adjustable potentiometers that everyone is accustomed to call are different in different countries and different industries, do you know?

Encoder|Transmitter|Soft starter|Power supply|VFD|Light curtain|Servo products|Human-machine interface|Solenoid valve|Cylinder|Actuator|Flow meter|Transformer|Thyristor|Sensor|Deceleration drive gearbox reducer|Linear guide|Circuit breaker|Refrigeration compressorAll industrial products of okplazas are purchased from the original factory or formal channels of agents to ensure the original authenticity, which perfectly solves the problem of industrial product sample procurement and small-batch procurement for the majority of engineers and purchasing personnel.

Potentiometer, Taiwanese like to call it VR,

The Hong Kong people are called: Turbo,

As for foreigners, it can only be called: potentiometer,

Many people call it: adjustable resistor.

Because the potentiometer is a resistor that can adjust the volume, it is called adjustable resistor for short. It is also called: fine-tuning, the principle is the same.

　　 Then it depends on what industry you are in. If you are a buyer of a headset manufacturer, perhaps your engineer: Tuner or tuning refers to this potentiometer.

　　 If you are doing portable audio such as portable DVD, it is estimated that your name may become: wire control or sound control. Other speakers are called volume regulators, or volume switches.

　　 Of course, there are still a lot of potentiometers subdivided, like our rotary potentiometer with a dial, customers like to call it: dial potentiometer, or dial potentiometer. This is called according to the shape. It is also called according to the action state of the potentiometer: the sliding potentiometer or the sliding potentiometer is because the potentiometer's trajectory is sliding, and the rotating potentiometer is because the potentiometer's working trajectory is rotating.

Therefore, we see that adjustable potentiometers are applied to different industries in different functions, so they are called differently. If you need to purchase potentiometers, you can elaborate on your needs.
