Potentiometers, Linear
Our precision rectilinear potentiometers have been developed to operate in industrial and avionic environments, and will withstand high levels of shock, vibration and temperature change without determent. A particular reliability feature is the fail safe characteristic of Sensors Division's tracks; should a part of the track be damaged, the remaining track remains operative and the damage is easily monitored to avoid a catastrophic systems failure.
Key features of Potentiometers:
Our products are typically developed from a custom set of requirements, however some key features include:
- Choice of mounting arrangements
- Flying lead or electrical connector
- Virtually infinite resolution
- Independent linearity to 0.15
- Stroke length to 250mm
- Body diameter to 19mm
- Excellent output smoothness
- Single or dual electrical output
- Outstanding environmental characteristics
- Long life – typ. 100x106 operations
- Chemically inert tracks
- Spring loaded shaft option
Applications:
- Flight control actuators for fixed and rotary wing aircraft
