Description
Spectrol Precision Wirewound Joystick Potentiometer
Model: 132-0-1-502 | 5KΩ (5K Ohm) Resistance | Premium Marine & Industrial Joystick Component
Condition
Used / Machine Pull — Sold As-Is
— This authentic Spectrol precision joystick potentiometer was carefully salvaged from a dismantled industrial/marine master controller. It has been externally cleaned and visually checked, but has not been properly bench-tested for total resistance sweeps, tracking noise, or full control linearity specs. The item is being offered in “As-Is” condition. Please review the attached original listing photographs closely to verify the exact structural condition, terminal pins, and shaft configurations prior to purchase.
Product Overview
The genuine SP Electronic Spectrol 132-0-1 502 Potentiometer is a premium-tier, high-duty cycle rotary control component optimized for manual tracking hardware. Outfitted with a high-stability 5KΩ (5,000 Ohm) wirewound resistive element, this precision unit is specifically engineered to handle the relentless, multi-axis manipulations typical of commercial shipping joysticks, heavy-duty crane steering levers, and industrial automation interfaces. Built to deliver reliable proportional electrical feedback with low noise, this robust component serves as a vital drop-in spare for critical machinery overhauls and maritime control desk maintenance.
