Hoffmann + Krippner has uploaded a new white paper aimed at developers of industrial automation systems and solutions, medical equipment and devices, kitchen appliances and handheld power tools.
Potentiometers can provide highly precise sensing and measurement for linear or rotary movement. However, specifying or designing a potentiometer sensors is a complex challenge for many developers, especially those now looking to create Internet connected devices and solutions.
The white paper provides a high-level look at the available technologies, and a detailed explanation of the most important technical specifications and how to understand them.
According to Hoffmann + Krippner, it will help design engineers understand how membrane potentiometer sensors work and how to pick the right type of membrane potentiometer for their project.
It covers the various types of potentiometers, potentiometer development history, their various components and materials, and also provides an overview looking at the technical issues of printed potentiometers and foil (membrane).
The paper also covers the various tech specifications of accuracy and linearity when specifying potentiometers.
