Potentiometers convert rotary motion or linear displacement into a change of resistance, supplying a smooth transition of voltage or current levels. The resulting voltage output may be used to control position transducers in a wide variety of potential transportation, industrial, and medical applications. The Honeywell Sensing and Control lineup is also legendary in military and aerospace industries for reliability, durability, and enhanced life. These units easily withstand exposure to harsh chemicals and high temperatures. Our potentiometer designs allow customization to customer specs and cost requirements without sacrificing reliability and accuracy.

Rotary Potentiometers are compact, rugged, thick-film devices that use either conductive plastic, or cermet or wirewound elements. Developed for potential military applications, our proprietary conductive plastic offers extensive temperature range and infinite resolution, and is designed to provide precision position measurement. Cermet and wirewound elements are stable over a range of operating temperatures and provide high power dissipation and improved resistance temperature coefficient.

Linear Potentiometers feature rugged extruded aluminum housings to withstand harsh chemicals and immersion in oils or water. Construction features include extended life PTFE bearings, precious-metal multi-finger contact wipers, and MystR® conductive plastic thick-film elements.
