APOLLO Launches S1800-3i Travel Speed Potentiometer for Asphalt Paver Spare Parts

Our company today announced the launch of the APOLLO S1800-3i Travel Speed Potentiometer, a precision control for asphalt paver spare parts. Mounted on the operator console, the potentiometer regulates the proportional solenoid valve of the travel pump, giving smooth and accurate control of track motor speed during paving.

Smooth, Accurate Travel Speed Control

The potentiometer works as a precision multi-turn device. As the operator turns the knob, it outputs a continuous voltage signal that the control system uses to set the opening of the travel pump solenoid valve. The result is smooth speed adjustment from zero to maximum, helping crews hold a steady paving speed and produce a consistent asphalt mat.

Key Features and Benefits

• Precision Multi-Turn Adjustment: A continuous voltage output delivers smooth speed control from zero to maximum.
• Wear-Resistant Carbon Track: Linear output stands up to frequent adjustment in harsh job-site conditions.
• Stable Neutral Position: Helps prevent speed drift between tracks for straight-line paving.
• Non-Slip Graduated Knob: Allows fine adjustment by the operator during paving.
• Easy Installation: A direct-fit replacement for the paver control console.

Technical Specifications

Common Symptoms It Solves

• Jerky travel or inability to accelerate caused by a worn carbon track.
• Automatic drifting when the neutral voltage shifts between the two tracks.
• Inconsistent speed that makes the paver deviate from a straight line.

Applications

• APOLLO S1800-3i asphalt paver travel drive control
• Highway construction and rehabilitation
• Municipal road paving projects
• Commercial and industrial paving areas

When replacing the unit, contractors should check the original resistance range (for example 10k Ohm), linearity and mounting thread size, then recalibrate the center or full-scale position via the display to keep the knob scale matched to actual travel speed.
