Linear potentiometers

Linear Potentiometers

Linear potentiometers are an inexpensive and reliable way to measure distances or positions. These resistive sensors work as a voltage divider via a hybrid layer of plastic and are available up to a protection class of IP67. Linear potentiometers combine simple design with high precision (linearity up to 0.05% of the FS). A wide variety of designs and mounting options enable use in countless applications.
