clinton Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Looks like a switch to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil H Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Possibly a variable resistor (a thing with a knob that turns), although it's not one of the usually accepted symbols for this device. It may be just a representation of the component. In this case, turning the knob alters the speed of the motor (M). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Yates Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 That looks like a "Pot Speed control" often used on electric fork lifts it has a slot on top for a small flat tip screw driver the 'Pot " gets its name from the design as it looks like a lil pot . in side there is lil contacts much like that on an oll 60 model head light switch as it is turned up more speed / light and down less.

Elemental Metal Creations Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Pot is short for Potentiometer, they have 3 leads on them. This may be a rheostat which has 2 leads although I have never seen this symbol before but I have not worked in electronics/electrical since 2001.
