Rotary position sensor8820

potentiometer analog metal

As an angle sensor that is both accurate and economical, this rotary potentiometer is suitable for all types of analog angle measurement up to 350°. Typical fields of application include: -Position feedback in servo-systems -Pendulum weighing machines -Cam and butterfly flap positions -Jockey roller controllers -Measuring the tension of threads and tape -Trigonometric measurements at joints The heart of the potentiometric angular displacement sensors is an extremely precise, low-wear resistor track made of plastic. Due to its high resistance to abrasion, the sensors are particularly suitable for measurements for the purpose of quality assurance in ongoing production, where a long service life and large numbers of rotations are required. The potentiometric angular displacement sensor uses a multi-finger slider system with precious metal contacts. This ensures good contact even when moving at high speed and in the presence of vibrations. The high-precision resistor tracks are pressed in a lasercontrolled process and are therefore remarkably flat. This provides ideal conditions for a long service life. The stainless steel shaft is supported by close-tolerance, low-friction, stainless steel ball bearings with double sealing discs.
