Topic:Kingtronics Trimming Potentiometer Applications
Content:
TransducersPotentiometers are also very widely used as a part of displacement transducers because of the simplicity of construction and because they can give a large output signal.ComputationIn analog computers, high precision potentiometers are used to scale intermediate results by desired constant factors, or to set initial conditions for a calculation. A motor-driven potentiometer may be used as a function generator, using a non-linear resistance card to supply approximations to trigonometric functions. For example, the shaft rotation might represent an angle, and the voltage division ratio can be made proportional to the cosine of the angle.
