Honeywell linear and rotary potentiometers measure linear, rotary position or displacement. Use a tried and true potentiometric technology originally developed for military applications and more recently applied to industrial markets. The proprietary MystR® conductive plastic has extensive temperature range, infinite resolution and provides absolute position measurement on power-up. Intermediate signal conditioning is not required for normal ratiometric position sensing. Very small stroke units (5 mm [0.2 in]), and units required to withstand exposure to harsh chemicals, function immersed in different oils or water, are available.
Best Used For:
Applications requiring sensing response to the movement or location of a target, such as a molding professional press slide or a pulley industrial shaft.
