Hoffmann+Krippner Shows How to Pick the Right Potentiometer Sensor for Your Application
New White Paper for Developers of Industrial Automation systems and solutions, medical equipment and devices, kitchen appliances and handheld power tools --- Potentiometers can provide highly precise sensing and measurement for linear or rotary movement
August 19, 2015 - Alpharetta, GA
Hoffmann + Krippner Inc. today posted a new white paper - How to Choose the Right Potentiometer for Reliable Position Sensing. It can be downloaded at http://www.hoffmann-krippner.com/whitepapers.html
Created to help design engineers understand how membrane potentiometer sensors work and how to pick the right type of membrane potentiometer for their project, this new Hoffmann+Krippner white paper covers the various types of potentiometers, potentiometer development history, their various components and materials, and an overview looking at the technical issues of printed potentiometers and foil (membrane)/ The paper also covers the various tech specifications of accuracy and linearity when specifying potentiometers.
"Specifying or designing a potentiometer sensors is a complex challenge for many developers, especially those now looking to create Internet connected devices and solutions," says Jens Kautzor, CEO of Hoffman + Krippner, Inc. "This new guide provides an easy to understand high level look at these technologies as well as a detailed explanation of the most important technical specifications and how to understand them."

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
