10K 10 turn 30 mm potentiometer?
Where can I find a 30mm 10 turn 10k pot that will fit in an existing 30mm notched hole on an industrial panel. It will replace a A&B 10K 1 turn 30mm pot (i have already checked with A&B, SQ-D, Cutler Hammer, Newark, and Grainger)
Any help will be appreciated
A&B makes a 1 turn pot that fits a 30mm pushbutton hole, the body and knob are 30 mm, but the pot mounted inside the pb body has a 1/4" shaft but alas only one turn

Your best bet would be to buy a pot such as this one

and make an adaptor plate to fit the 30mm notched hole. You will never find a 10 turn pot with such a large shaft - that is over an inch! The adaptor plate could just be epoxied to the back of the panel, or you could use screws if you don't mind the screw heads.
You will void your beautiful warranty by replacing the pot, so you might as well butcher the panel as well. At a later date, you can remove an epoxied plate by heating it with a hot air gun if you need to.
