Innovative Development
begins with Spectra Symbol
Spectra Symbol designs and manufactures custom linear potentiometers. Our position sensors are specially designed for use in medical, automotive and electronic industries.
The potentiometers are made of a variety of materials ranging from polyester to fiberglass, depending on the temperature or cycle need. Additionally, our potentiometers are the thinnest linear position sensors on the market, at only 0.5mm, and are unparalleled in the industry.
Multiple patents and extensive proprietary technology over 30 years has put Spectra Symbol in the driver’s seat for membrane potentiometer technology in the linear position sensor marketplace. A few short years ago, no membrane potentiometer sensor was available that could handle 60°C temperature or 100% humidity.
Now, with the advent of the HotPot potentiometer, the playing field has changed such that industrial, aerospace and automotive companies are now able to take advantage of the ultra-thin 0.5mm linear potentiometer produced by Spectra Symbol. And the development continues, including the upcoming MagnetoPot technology soon to be released.
Spectra Symbol also offers custom products where you design your product and we will build it. You can always get our standard products with some special, value-added, features, such as embedded switches together with the potentiometer circuit for a fraction of the price of typical switching.
