A self-centering rotary potentiometer position sensor, in which a conductive wiper is in contact with a complex resistive material.
The WM-552 is a self-centering rotary potentiometer position sensor, in which a conductive wiper is in contact with a complex resistive material. The wiper is integrated with a shaft. As the shaft is moved in either direction there is a change in the resistance, which is proportional to absolute rotation.
Typical output signals can include:
One linear ratiometric circuit
Ratings are as follows:
Electrical:
The circuit operates from ±5Vdc supply
Mechanical:
±20° of rotation
3-million endurance cycles
Environmental:
Williams Controls Environmental Test Specification WDS-010
Ingress protection ratings IP66
Note:
These specifications represent the expected minimum performance of the sensor. This information does not constitute a warranty that the product will meet the above specifications while used in specific applications or test equipment. Specific requirements may vary, based on the sensor configuration.
