Hoffmann+Krippner has posted a new white paper, “How to Choose the Right Potentiometer for Reliable Position Sensing.” It can be downloaded here. Created to help design engineers understand how ...

Austrian sensor vendor ams AG has rolled out a magnetic rotary position sensor as a contactless alternative to potentiometers, variable resistors used in industrial and consumer applications. The ...

The AS5600 provides precise 12-bit resolution over a full 0-360° rotation and is capable of measuring angular displacement in any application currently using a potentiometer, including rotary knobs ...

ams AG introduced the AS5600, a magnetic rotary position sensor which makes it easier than ever before to replace a traditional potentiometer with a more reliable contactless alternative. To appeal to ...

Authored by Jens Kautzor, CEO, Hoffmann + Krippner, the whitepaper covers the various types of potentiometers, potentiometer development history, their various components and materials and an overview ...

The VEX Potentiometer is a simple analog sensor used to measure angular position. It returns a voltage between 0 and +5 V linearly proportional to its angular offset from one side. Currently, there ...

Potentiometers also measure rotations, but are absolute rotation sensors, meaning that if the robot shuts down, the potentiometer will still know what angle it is rotated at. Despite being an absolute ...

Offering simple ratiometric output and low power consumption, the AS5600 Hall-based magnetic position sensor from ams provides a contactless alternative to conventional potentiometers in industrial ...
