Megatron
Angle measurement in the smallest space
Thanks to their housing depth of just 6 mm and a housing diameter of 16.4 mm, the hollow-shaft conductive plastic potentiometers in the 'MHP16' series from Megatron are particularly suitable as position indicators in motor valves and actuators.
The shaft diameter is only 2 mm. The conductive plastic potentiometers offer an electrically effective angle of rotation of 320° (±5°), a mechanical angle of rotation of 360° and an almost infinite resolution with ±2% independent linearity. According to the supplier, the multi-finger stainless steel slider guarantees a stable analog output signal.
Thanks to the flattened hub in the hollow shaft, the potentiometers can be mounted directly on the drive shaft without torsion; a coupling is not required. Other features of the hollow shaft potentiometers include the ability to be used in a temperature range between -40 and +105 °C and protection class IP40.
If series production is required, the supplier can customize the potentiometers on request - for example with special rotation angles and resistance values, special tolerances for independent linearity or customer-specific housings.
