Linear potentiometer
A potentiometer is a circuit element comprising a resistor which has a movable tap for adjusting the ratio of the resistances from the tap to the respective ends of the resistor. The use of a potentiometer to determine the position of a connected device has proven to be rather accurate. The potentiometer employs either a rotary or a linear slide member connected to a variable resistor that changes resistance to be equated to the position of the device that is monitored. Potentiometers are frequently used as position sensors in various types of electrical control circuits. In particular, linear potentiometers are useful to translate mechanical motion into responsive electrical signals. Linear potentiometers are devices that measure the relative movement between component parts of a machine, such as an injection molding machine. Linear refers to the mechanical direction of travel of the potentiometer slider as opposed to the electrical taper of the resistive element within the potentiometer. In order to provide accurate measurements, the potentiometer should be connected to the machine in such a manner that eliminates free play that could introduce measurement errors when the machine moves in a predetermined direction.
