Crown Potentiometer CR062709 – CR62709

Position sensing in a Crown lift truck's control circuit runs through this potentiometer, which converts the movement of an operator control into a proportional electrical signal the truck's control system can read. As the shaft or wiper travels across the resistive element, the resistance changes in step with the control's position, giving the controller a continuous readout of how far a lever, pedal, or steering input has moved.

Clean, linear output is what makes the connected function respond smoothly and predictably, so a potentiometer that has worn a dead spot or gone erratic on its track shows up as jumpy or unresponsive control. Replacing it restores the accurate signal the controller expects. Crown supplies this potentiometer for its lift truck platforms as a direct replacement. Match the shaft style, resistance value, and connector to the unit being replaced, since these determine both the mechanical fit and the signal the controller is calibrated to read.
