I'm looking for a potentiometer without the shaft. It should be like a ring, in annular shape, so it can be mounted on an existing shaft.

I don't find anything, but I'm afraid I'm not using the proper English word to describe such a component.

  • i have seen the layers referred to as `wafer` and `element` ... but no idea about the name of an assembly that you add to an existing potentiometer – jsotola Nov 30 '17 at 17:35
  • Not to an existing potentiometer, but to an existing shaft, i.e. of a motor – Mark Nov 30 '17 at 19:53

The first two searches give you all the dual shaft pots as found on audio and analog oscilloscopes. The latter are the most unusual.
