ETI Systems Linear Stroke Potentiometers
ETI Systems Linear Stroke Potentiometers are indispensable components in a wide array of industries, providing accurate and reliable position-sensing capabilities. ETI Systems Linear Stroke Potentiometers are tailored to meet the demands of diverse applications and contribute to the efficiency and precision of modern systems. These linear stroke sensors measure linear displacement along a straight path. The potentiometers consist of a conductive plastic, wirewound resistive element, or a Hall Effect element, along with a wiper that moves along the resistive track as the object being measured changes position. The devices are commonly available in resistance ranges suitable for industrial and precision applications. These potentiometers also come in a variety of shaft types and endings.
