Potentiometer:






A Potentiometer produces a gradually changing voltage signal to a control module. The signal is infinitely variable within the operating range of the sensor.
This varying voltage reflects a mechanical movement or position of the potentiometer wiper arm and its related components.

Typical Application of Potentiometer

- Air Flow Meter
- Seat and Mirror Memory Position
- Pedal Position Sensors
- Throttle Position Sensors (Also Feedback Potentiometers)
