There is something I am working on that will need some type of angle sensor. I am going to use a potentiometer. First, who came up with that name? Isn't this name the same as a voltmeter? Something is ...

[Lee] wrote in to share the work he’s done in building a controller for his soldering iron. The idea started when he was working with an ATX power supply. He figured if it works as a makeshift bench ...

This new whitepaper, by Hoffman + Krippner Inc, introduces the advantages and disadvantages of the membrane potentiometer’s special design, and also outlines its possible applications including ...

The U.S. conductive plastic potentiometers market was valued at around USD 0.43 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow at a 5.37% CAGR from 2026 to 2035, reaching about USD 0.72 billion. Growth is ...

Potentiometers, or variable resistors, are a standard component that we take for granted. If it says “10k log” on a volume pot, than we fit and forget. But if like [Ben Holmes] you are modelling ...

The potentiometer portion of a mixed-signal, digitally programmable potentiometer adds variability to an analog circuit, and its digital controls provide programmability. You can use a digital ...

The newer a piece of farm equipment, the more likely some aspect of it needs to be calibrated, and sometimes re-calibrated, for it to work correctly. In case. you’ve ever wondered, here’s what ...

In many system applications, it becomes necessary to adjust a switched-mode power supply (SMPS) output voltage within narrow limits in order to remove tolerances and drops in the power path, verify ...

The potentiometer signal conditioner features a wide range of input signals (10 to 100 kohms) with configuration available via DIP-switches, teach-in switches, configuration software or the JUMPFLEX ...
