Eaton M22-R10K Potentiometer Front Element, 10 kOhm, Linear Taper, Single Turn, Front Panel Mount, IP66/IP67/IP69K

Where generic panel-mount potentiometers demand extra sealing boots or adapter plates, the Eaton M22-R10K drops straight into a standard 22.5 mm cutout and delivers IP69K-rated front protection as part of its core design. This front element pairs a precision 10 kOhm linear resistance track with a single-turn rotary actuation, giving you predictable, smooth adjustment without dead spots or complex calibration. Built for the Eaton M22 modular system, it clicks together with M22 contact blocks for fast, tool-free wiring in industrial control panels, operator stations, and HMI enclosures.

Highlights

• 10 kOhm linear taper for direct, repeatable output scaling
• Single-turn rotary actuation with 6 mm shaft for standard knobs
• Front panel mounting in 22.5 mm hole, no additional sealing required
• High ingress protection: IP66, IP67, and IP69K on the front face
• Compatible with Eaton M22 contact blocks for modular wiring
• Wide operating temperature range from -25 °C to +70 °C
• Complies with CE, UL, CSA, CCC, EAC, and RoHS standards

In daily use

Installed in a control panel or operator station, the M22-R10K provides a tactile, reliable means of adjusting parameters such as speed, position, or setpoints. Its linear resistance characteristic ensures a direct relationship between knob rotation and output, simplifying calibration and user interaction. The three terminals connect easily to compatible M22 contact blocks, allowing fast integration into existing automation architectures. The robust front seal withstands washdown environments, while the compact design saves panel space.
