PRODUCT BENEFITS
A rotary plastic track potentiometer is a type of potentiometer used to control the electrical voltage in a circuit. It is so called because of its construction, which includes a conductive plastic coated track on which a slider moves according to the position of its axis.
The plastic track potentiometer provides a linear analogue output of the ratio type of the supply voltage. Our products can be used for data acquisition systems as well as position control systems. Our rotary plastic track potentiometers are widely used in the automotive, defence and space industries, in a variety of sizes and shapes depending on the application.
Our potentiometers have several advantages, including :
- Simplicity: our potentiometers have no on-board electronics which simplifies their design and use,
- Accuracy: our expertise in the design of our conductive ink allows us to optimise the performance of our potentiometers,
- Robustness and reliability: our potentiometers are often used in harsh environments such as extreme temperatures, shock and vibration. Our designs take these environmental constraints into account,
- Vacuum operation: our potentiometers can operate in vacuum, making them useful for space applications and other extreme environments,
- Adaptability: our potentiometers are available in a variety of configurations, sizes and resistance values to suit a wide range of applications.
By using our high quality potentiometers, manufacturers can differentiate themselves from the competition by offering greater reliability, accuracy and robustness in harsh environments. Our potentiometers are used in many fields, such as aerospace, defence, industrial and automotive, making them a versatile and indispensable component for many applications.
