This single turn rotary linear 5K potentiometer is a variable speed driver which regulates voltage and current at its output, perfect for the regulation of speeds on electric motors, and torque.
Great to use as an indicating knob and dial to control a set speed. Turn the pot and the resistance changes. Connect VCC to an outer terminal, GND to the other, and the terminal connection will have a voltage that varies from 0 to VCC depending on the rotation of the pot. Hook the center terminal to an ADC on a microcontroller and get a variable input from the user.
