Are you up to speed on membrane potentiometers? If not, a new whitepaper from the Hoffmann + Krippner Group provides a quick read of a variety of techniques to make these type of sensing devices for linear and rotary position sensing applications.
Membrane potentiometers are differentiated by the use of special materials including polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and Kapton, and include magnetic and hybrid designs. The whitepaper explains the advantages and disadvantages of the membrane potentiometer’s design, and outlines its possible applications including industrial controls, robotic systems, forklifts, doors and gates, and even gaming.
