This design idea details how a standard volume control can be replaced by its solid-state equivalent. Digital potentiometers are often advertised as replacements for rotary volume controls. To ...

Microcontroller-based products sometimes require rotary switches. As many microcontrollers have an onboard ADC, it is easy to replace the rotary switch with a low cost potentiometer, when a rotary ...

The Model P270 27-mm rotary potentiometer has a life cycle of up to 1 million rotations and targets such applications as hydraulic-valve controllers for heavy equipment. The Model P270 27-mm rotary ...

CUI Devices’ Motion & Control Group has introduced a new rotary potentiometer series offering single or dual gang models as well as dual gang options with an on-off switch. The PTN16 series is housed ...

Today, potentiometers dominate the market for linear and rotary path and position sensing. That is not to say that there aren’t other position-measuring systems available on the market (see Table 1), ...
