HELICALOHM MULTI-TURN POTENTIOMETER
(Precision Multi-turn, Wirewound & Hybrid Element)
There are two kinds in SAKAE Helicalohm Potentiometers
with a wirewound resistive element. One is Model HD
Series which are an original device consisting of a resistive
element wound helically on a drum surface and a slider of
which contact is made around the resistance drum and the
other is Model HP Series which are formed with a slider
travelling along the interior surface of a resistive element
helically wound inside a sealed pipe.
Both of them equally offer high resolution, excellent
reliability and long life. SAKAE has expanded to the
production of hybrid resistive element potentiometers and
this element has now been incorporated into Model HP
Series with small size.

Special Specifications
S means the potentiometer with special mechanical
specifications not applicable to our standard.
Number of Gangs
G means 2 ganged potentiometer on the same axle.
The potentiometer consists of one single section unless
G is given.(e.g. G3
...
3 ganged, G4...4 ganged.)
4 digits branch number
to be used for specific
requirements.
Number of Turns
10 means 10-turn. There are 5 kinds in the number of our standard
multi-turn potentiometers. They are 3, 5, 10, 15 and 20, but subject
to models.
Application
L means for semi-fixed purpose. P means for p.c. terminals. W
means for lug terminals at rear end. S means shortened body
type (only for use on 20HP-ns). E means inch dimensional
bushing and shaft type.
Mounting Method
S means servomount type(in case of bushingmount type, S is deleted.)
Diameter
46 means the approximate outer diameter of the poten-
tiometer in metric system. The 8 standard diameters are
available, namely, 10mm, 12mm, 20mm, 22mm, 25mm,
30mm, 46mm and 50mm.
Type and Internal Construction
H means helicalohm, multi-turn, linear potentiometer. There
are 4 kinds of HP, HHP, HD and HDS.
HP, HPC
.....
Wirewound type with resistive element helically
wound inside the pipe-shaped housing.
HHP
............
Hybrid type with same construction as HP type.
HD
..............
Wirewound type with resistive element helically
wound on the drum-shaped base.
HDS
............
Super-precision type with same construction as
HD type.

50HDS
This series has the highest performances, especially in resolution
and in linearity tolerance, which are almost at the upper practical
limits in wirewound type pot. You can also use this pot. as a
standard potentiometer.
