resistancepotentiometerredundant

Potentiometric resistance elements and wiper; for mounting in closed devices; customized solutions with laser-linearization, switch function and redundancy technically feasible • suitable for mounting in closed applications • easy mounting by bonding or clamping • outstanding linearity • very long life up to 50 million movements, depending on application • Actuators • Measuring/control technology • Valves/throttle control • Assembly/test devices • Medical appliances Translational resistance elements suitable for installation in closed devices, which are so compact built, that for a position transducerwith housing and actuating rod no sufficient place is available. Positioning drives represent a typical field of application.The mounting of the resistance element should be on an even, clean surface in correct position to the wiper as indicated in thedimensional drawing.In addition, the stated distance between the wiper carrier and the resistance element must be adhered to. Thus ensure thenecessary wiper tracking force as well as the operatbility and durability. Two different wiper designs are available.Only the standard lengths are specified in this data sheet. Other lengths and outlines of the resistance elements on request.
