PC Series Linear Potentiometers

With Cylindrical Case
Features
• Designed with mechanical strength to handle demanding applications
• 10mm [0.39 in] diameter rod, large steel joints, and reinforced structure
are ideal for metalworking, woodworking and ceramics applications
• Designed for easy installation thanks to an absence of electrical signal
variation in output
• Self-aligning and weight-bearing rod eyes permit assembly with free
movement of the transducer axle
• All potentiometers are individually tested at the manufacturer, and an
individualized Linearity Error Chart is included with each unit

When choosing a transducer, it is important to remember that three different

strokes exist:
• Mechanical Stroke (CM): The actual shift that the transducer's cursor (wiper) is able to make.
• Useful Electrical Stroke (CEU): The part of the mechanical stroke in which transducer linearity is guaranteed.
• Theoretical Electrical Stroke (CET): Stroke expressed in mm or angular degrees between the electrical zero (Vout=0) and the electrical limit switch
(Vout=Vs), which physically is equal to the distance between the silver pitches at the ends of the resistive track.
Therefore, when designing an application, you should choose a transducer with a useful electrical stroke that is equal to or greater
than the maximum displacement carried out by the moving part.
