Description
The RP rotary potentiometer range is designed for the most demanding control and measurement systems. They are used extensively in motorsport for throttle and gear position control systems, steering angle measurement, and the monitoring systems of the chassis. They are also used in general industry for in position feedback control systems and monitoring applications. The sensors 'low force' multi-fingered electrical contacts are ideal where the measurement application experiences severe vibration in one position for long periods. The combination of 'layered track' technology and multi-fingered electrical contacts ensures infinite resolution coupled long operational life.
The operating temperature is 125°C and are available with a choice of electrical angles and mounting options. RP rotary potentiometers are sealed to IP66 as standard.
