GF281 Series
GF 281 G L 15 S B 103 K
Part Numbering System
NOTE: FMS = From Mounting Surface
Resistance Tolerance: K
=
10% (standard).
Resistance Code:
Expressed in ohms. A three digit code where the first
two digits are significant figures, and the third digit indicates the number
of zeros that follow these figures (i.e., 100 = 10Ω; 101 = 100Ω; 102 = 1,000Ω;
103 = 10,000Ω; 105 = 1,000,000Ω ).
See table for standard resistance values.
For Single Unit:
Specify taper and resistance code as shown.
For Ganged Tandem Unit:
Specify a taper code and resistance code for each unit starting with
the front unit followed by the rear unit. If both units have the same taper
and resistance codes, add “X2” suffix per example below.
Examples:
B103A503
or if both units are the same:
B103X2
Resistance Taper: B
= Linear.
Shaft End Style: S
= Slotted.
F
= Flatted.
R
= Round.
Standard Shaft Length: 15
= 15 mm FMS.
20

Up to 50mm shaft length available (special order ).
Shaft Lock: L
= With Shaft Lock.
Blank
= Without Shaft Lock.
