Description
Megatron XKZA15 10K-TC+ Potentiometer
Premium Replacement Component for Schneider Electric Joysticks
This genuine Megatron potentiometer has been carefully salvaged from a decommissioned industrial control panel. It has been bench-tested for continuity, total resistance (10k Ohms), and smooth rotational resistance sweep without flat spots. The integrated drive gear and wiring pigtails are intact and ready for installation.
Product Overview
The Megatron XKZA15 10K-TC+ is an industrial-grade, high-precision potentiometer engineered with a nominal resistance of 10k Ohms. This high-reliability component is manufactured as a specialized replacement or upgrade part for the heavy-duty Schneider Electric (Telemecanique) joystick controller series, specifically designed to drop directly into XKB, XKD, and XKM control units.
Featuring a robust mechanical build, a pre-installed gear drive, and color-coded wire leads, this potentiometer ensures stable, linear output signal performance in hoisting, crane operation, and other demanding industrial automation applications.

Key Features & Applications
- OEM Mechanical Fitment: Designed precisely to seat into the joystick housing without modifications or brackets. Gear teeth pitch matches Schneider drive systems flawlessly.
- Linear Signal Output: Provides highly consistent electrical output relative to rotation, vital for proportional speed and direction controls on heavy machinery.
- High Durability Conductive Plastic: Engineered by Megatron to support millions of rotations, ensuring a long operational lifetime under constant crane and hoisting actions.
- Hassle-Free Wiring: Flexible pigtails allow direct crimping or soldering to terminal strips inside the control housing.
