PDV20-31P-503B Working Principle

The working principle of the PDV20-31P-503B involves the displacement of a contacts wiper along a resistance track. This displacement is detected by a transducer and converted into a varying voltage, current, or resistance. The potentiometer consists of a movable wiper arm made from a conductive material, which is connected to a resistive track. The track is divided into segments, and the wiper is connected to one segment of the resistive track at a given point in time. When the wiper is moved along the resistive track, the resistance between the connected track segment and the fixed terminals changes. This change in resistance is then converted to a varying voltage or current, which can then be used as an input signal for a control system.

The PDV20-31P-503B is a linear potentiometer which is used for the feedback of servo motor control system and most other that require a linear feedback signal of position, angle and linearity. This slide potentiometer has excellent linearity accuracy and is designed to provide a consistent output over a wide temperature range. The device can be used in a variety of applications and is suitable for use in many harsh and dusty/vibration environments.
