General Purpose Rotary Potentiometers

The general-purpose series of rotary potentiometers are designed with a flange mounting case manufactured from a durable high-grade polymer and fitted with a bush type bearing. The measurement element combines layered track technology with low-force multi-fingered electrical contacts, to provide a sensor with infinite resolution and long operation life. They are extensively used in motorsport data acquisition systems to monitor suspension movement, steering angle and gear position, where reliability is required in high dither vibration applications.

RP5100 Series

The RP5100 general-purpose rotary potentiometer series is specified in non-critical motorsport measurement control systems. The sensor is available with the option of three stainless steel shafts that include sprung, round and blade. They are environmentally sealed to IP66.
