Title: Concentric linear pots
Post by: fsaviator on January 06, 2015, 01:52:30 PM
Anyone have a good source for concentric linear pots (not dual pots), two pots with a concentric shaft.

I want to use them for my DU, radar and terrain dimmers

Thanks,

Hi Warren,

These can easily be obtained through Ebay as they are widely used on electric guitars.

Linear ones are a bit rarer, but i got mine from this guy, and he still has them

I make them Warren, there is still a picture of them on my crappy out of date website - http://www.aerosimsolutions.com.au/dual_rotaries.html (http://www.aerosimsolutions.com.au/dual_rotaries.html)

I wish I knew how to edit websites lol!! Cheers Gwyn

Thanks for the tips, guys.

I'm not sure I want to add making them to my list of projects.  I'm in the home stretch now and and still have a list of things I need to get around to making.  I still need to cut a new front panel for my MCP and EFIS and have been having a heck of time figuring out feeds, speeds, and cutting tools for 6mm acrylic.

6mm Acrylic with s 3mm end mill cutter, I would use -

200mm/minute feed, 80mm/minute plunge rate and depth of cut 3mm for 2 passes.

Cheers Gwyn
