There is something I am working on that will need some type of angle sensor. I am going to use a potentiometer. First, who came up with that name? Isn't this name the same as a voltmeter? Something is ...

Today, potentiometers dominate the market for linear and rotary path and position sensing. That is not to say that there aren’t other position-measuring systems available on the market (see Table 1), ...

In the evolving landscape of precision sensing, contactless potentiometers are quietly redefining what reliability looks like. By replacing mechanical wear points with magnetic sensing, these devices ...

Harold G. Schaevitz Industries LLC (HGSI) has expanded its sensor product offering by adding resistive technology to its portfolio of linear position sensors. The LPPS-22 series of linear ...
