Orbital systems has introduced a range of potentiometers for industrial automation, manufactured by elap spa italy. Linear potentiometers are used to transform mechanical linear motion into corresponding electrical signals. These potentiometers are enclosed in aluminum case with ip65 protector. These potentiometers are robust and endure hostile industrial environments. These come in series pm, pls, pl2s and pl23, with stroke lengths from 25 mm up to 1000 mm. Using conductive plastic resistance element with a wiper arm of noble material, these linear potentiometer have excellent linearity of 0.075% and infinite resolution. They are easy to mount with ball joints on one or both ends and clamping feet. The company also manufactures rotary potentiometers with single or multiturn using conductive plastic resistance element, thus offering excellent linearity. These come in single and multi-turns with 5 kw resistance and standard tolerance of ±0.35%. Linear wire rope potentiometers with spring return device are supplied with measuring stroke up to 4 meters. With life of over 20,00,000 operations these potentiometers are useful in injection moulding machines, hydraulic presses, spms, cut to length systems, textile machinery, winding application, etc.
