Motorized Slide Potentiometer - 10KΩ Linear with 5V DC Motor

This linear slide potentiometer includes a slim geared DC motor that can gently move the wiper up and down without human interaction. Perfect for use in advanced A/V control panels, light robotics, or interactive controls that can be controlled both digitally and manually.

The potentiometer and motor are electrically separate: the potentiometer acts as a classic 3-pin resistor divider, while the motor is a 2-pin 5V to 10V DC motor requiring a full H-bridge motor driver for bidirectional control. When no voltage is applied to the motor pins, the slider can be moved manually.

The unit also features a touch pad connected to the metallic slider that can be interfaced with capacitive touch sensors, assuming a metallic or conductive slider knob is used.

Usage involves reading the potentiometer's analog voltage and controlling the motor accordingly to position the slider, then releasing the motor when the desired position is reached.

Comes as one motorized slide potentiometer; H-Bridge controller is not included. Compatible with most microcontrollers.
