Here is a quick look at how contactless potentiometers work, where they are used, and why they are gaining ground.

After becoming frustrated with drift in the potentiometers, he set out to outfit the entire rig with custom-built encoders. [s-ol] designed the rotary-encoder based boards around an FPGA.

The String Potentiometer and String Encoder Engineering Guide, 12 pages in length and with 18 color illustrations, enables engineers and technicians to know what applications are best-suited for ...

We’re all familiar with getting feedback from a rotating shaft, for which we usually employ a potentiometer or encoder. But there’s another device that, while less well-known, has some … ...

Although commonly used in audio applications, gear potentiometers can also be used “limitedly” to test some other hobby-level concepts such as simple elevation encoders. Note that potentiometer and ...

The Model 510 mechanical encoder is designed to replace less precise potentiometers and more costly optical encoders in consumer and light industrial applications. These include ...

LSI Computer Systems (LSI/CSI) has created a family of 63 tap (6bit) digital potentiometers for direct connection to quadrature decoders, push buttons, GPIOs or SPI serial controls. Debounce circuits ...

They have a longer service life and higher reliability than potentiometers or commercial-grade encoders, andare resistant to humidity and condensation.

With no overlaps in the potentiometer and encoder product lineup between them, Midori Precisions and Nidec Copal Electronics will be able to generate synergies easily with each other, and expand ...
