Product Description
SoftPot Potentiometer
Optimizing your manufacturing processes with a soft membrane potentiometer can increase your chances of gaining higher productivity and return on investment. Spectra Symbol, a trusted name in the linear position sensor manufacturing industry, provides components that will help achieve your business goals.
The Spectra Symbol SoftPot potentiometer is a soft membrane potentiometer that can be utilized across a wide range of applications to track position and acquire the preferred output. It’s available in lengths ranging from 10mm to 2000mm with a low form factor under 0.5mm, making the Spectra Symbol SoftPot the thinnest and lightest linear sensor available today. It is also economical and easy to use. You can simply mount it on a surface and activate it using a spring-loaded wiper.
What’s Good about SoftPot
The SoftPot works in multiple configurations, such as linear, serpentine, and elliptical. It operates in temperatures ranging from -45°C to 50°C and is ideal for products that need a sealed sensor with a tight form factor. It’s no wonder it became a popular option for clients in the medical, dental, and robotics industry. The SofPot is also a versatile sensor that can operate by human touch. It can provide the desired linear output regardless of the shape of the product it’s attached to.
• Use in Actuators:
- Actuators are found wherever position is automated.
- The membrane potentiometer technology offers a low form-factor for the feedback it provides.
- Recommended for use whenever absolute position is required.
• Design into Hand-held Medical Devices
- The SoftPot is ideal for medical environments that rarely gets close to 50°C but require a sealed sensor and a tight form-factor.
- Thin-SoftPot designs are attractive to disposable instrumentation for its high-quantity, low cost requirements.
