jb Digital Knob Series – Multi-Turn Control, Visible Display, and Mounting Flexibility

b Capacitors Digital Knob potentiometers – JBR-BP, JBR-BM, JBR-BN models with multi-turn adjustment, precision scale readout, and shaft compatibility for industrial and control panel applications.

In the design of professional control systems, adjustment components must offer both mechanical reliability and specification clarity. The jb Digital Knob Series is engineered to meet this standard by offering multiple configurations in turn range, numeric display, diameter, and shaft fit—all structured for seamless integration into a variety of control panels.

Whether you are working with compact circuit layouts or high-precision tuning modules, the jb Digital Knob Series provides engineers with the confidence to choose a fit-for-purpose solution based purely on objective design criteria.

Why These Parameters Matter in Real Design Work

Turn Count Options: Matching Precision to Purpose

Multi-turn knobs are typically selected based on the level of control resolution required.

  • A 14-turn knob provides high-precision modulation—ideal for settings that require fine increments.
  • A 9-turn knob, while offering less granularity, is sufficient for broader-range or non-critical adjustments.

Display Readability: Inform at a Glance

The built-in numeric display removes ambiguity during field operation.

  • The 3-digit display models (BP & BN) provide clear visibility of the knob’s position, essential for repeatable setups.
  • The 1-digit version (BM) offers simplified feedback when only general range indication is needed.

Physical Integration: Fit the Panel, Fit the Workflow

Choosing between Φ4mm or Φ6.35mm shaft compatibility allows the knob to mate securely with a wide range of potentiometers or encoders.
Meanwhile, outer diameters of 46mm vs. 22mm allow flexibility across large-format panels or dense modular setups.

Built for Engineers – Not Just End Users

With standard screw-mount installation, durable mechanical construction, and straightforward technical documentation, the jb Digital Knob Series gives engineering teams the freedom to focus on performance without second-guessing part selection.

This series is ideal for procurement teams, OEM designers, or field engineers looking for predictable, spec-driven components they can trust in control design.
