How to choose the right potentiometer for position sensing

Hoffmann + Krippner is publishing a new white paper, How to Choose the Right Potentiometer for Reliable Position Sensing, which can be downloaded free of charge at www.hoffmann-krippner.com/whitepapers.html.

Written to help design engineers understand how membrane potentiometer sensors work, and how to select the right type of membrane potentiometer for a project, this new Hoffmann+Krippner white paper covers the various types of potentiometers, potentiometer development history, their components and materials, and an overview of the technical issues of printed potentiometers and foil (membrane). The paper also covers the various technical specifications relating to accuracy and linearity when specifying potentiometers.

Jens Kautzor, CEO of Hoffman + Krippner Inc, says: "Specifying or designing a potentiometer sensor is a complex challenge for many developers, especially those now looking to create internet-connected devices and solutions. This new guide provides an easy-to-understand, high-level look at these technologies, as well as a detailed explanation of the most important technical specifications and how to understand them."
