93267

Overview

The Bourns Inc. model 93267 is a mechanical component classified within the company's dials and panel controls portfolio, specifically identified as a number of turns dial or index pointer. This device serves as a visual indicator for rotary potentiometers or similar adjustable components, allowing users to track the rotational position or setting of the underlying control mechanism. It is designed to mount onto the shaft of precision potentiometers, providing a clear reference point for adjustment settings. The product line includes variants with different shaft diameters and scale types, such as concentric scales, to accommodate various panel controller dimensions and user interface requirements.

Feature Summary

• Provides visual indication of rotational position for rotary controls
• Compatible with precision potentiometers and panel controllers
• Available in concentric scale configurations for analog reading

Applications

• Power supply unit adjustments
• Oscilloscope calibration and control
• Medical equipment parameter setting
• Industrial automation instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code (e.g., -6A, -6M) against the required shaft diameter, as these designations determine compatibility with 1/4 inch or 6 mm shafts. Confirm that the selected variant matches the intended application environment regarding material finish and mounting constraints. Cross-reference the official datasheet to ensure the part meets all mechanical fitment specifications before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select the appropriate shaft diameter variant based on the target potentiometer or encoder axis size. Ensure the dial type, such as concentric scale, aligns with the desired user interface readability. Consider the physical dimensions, including diameter and depth, to verify fitment within the enclosure. Check for any specific engineering drawings or mounting requirements associated with the chosen suffix code.

Part Context

This component belongs to Bourns' broader category of sensors, panel controls, and encoders. It complements their range of precision potentiometers by offering an external indexing solution. The product line supports various industrial and consumer applications requiring precise manual adjustment feedback. It is distinct from electrical components like resistors or circuit protection devices, focusing solely on mechanical positioning indication.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Users should consult the official Bourns catalog for compatible alternatives or contact technical support for cross-reference information.
