Contactless potentiometers: Unlocking precision with magnetic sensing

In the evolving landscape of precision sensing, contactless potentiometers are quietly redefining what reliability looks like. By replacing mechanical wear points with magnetic sensing, these devices offer a frictionless alternative that is both durable and remarkably accurate. This post offers a quick look at how contactless potentiometers work, where they are used, and why they…

Optical, Magnetic, Resolver, or Capacitive for Your Motor Encoder? (Source: Vera Aksionava/stockabobe.com) In many motion control designs, it’s essential to know the key parameters of the motor’s rotor, such as its angular position, speed, and direction. One component that is vital to understanding these parameters is an encoder, which is an add-on sensor that determines…
