Heavy duty potentiometer Dial for speed control

[georgeofthejungle02]

Hello:
I'm looking for a heavy duty single turn potentiometer with a dial 4-5 inches in diameter. Does anyone know who makes them?
Thank you,
George

It would help if you offered details...ie resistance and wattage.

George, Not sure if this is what you are looking for but I have used several from Automation Direct.

I've had great luck with them so far.

Thanks Dale, but I am looking for something even bigger, it's feeding into a 0-10V Allen Bradley Anaolg input card.

Again

What resistance and wattage? IF feeding an AB analog card it should not need to be a very high wattage especially at 0-10v...which card? Usually a 0-10v signal can easily be converted to 0-20ma which implies a low wattage device...Are you looking for something that is PHYSICALLY stronger because of abuse?

It is possible to put large diameter scales, handles and locks on standard single turn pots.
