Hi everyone… i know this is a random question, but I’m building my own PKE meter , i want working twist knobs which i have, but i don’t have the back part to them that holds them and makes them work…ive been searching on google and i can’t find where to buy them or what they’re even called. can anyone help please!!! thank you!!
Do you have a picture? Maybe someone could 3d print what you need.
It sounds like you are talking about the electrical component that the knob connects to. If so it’s a Potentiometer
A potentiometer is a three-terminal resistor with a sliding or rotating contact that forms an adjustable voltage divider. In motion control systems, potentiometers are frequently used as position sensors to provide analog feedback to a controller, allowing for precise tracking of mechanical movement. If only two terminals are used, one end and the wiper, it acts as a variable resistor or rheostat. The measuring instrument called a potentiometer is essentially a voltage divider used for measuring ...
The size and type really depends on your application. We would need to know more about your setup. I buy components like this on Amazon or digikey
