In automotive industries, it is used for controlling the engine speed, monitoring fuel level, adjusting airbag inflator timing and controlling propellers, and monitoring fuel injection systems. It is also used to measure temperature, pressure and acceleration in aircrafts. This type of Slide Potentiometer is used in life sciences to detect glucose and proteins in blood, and chemical compositions in solutions. Additionally, it is also used to measure airspeed and altitude in aerospace.

Working principle

The working principle of PS100-2B1BR1MEG Slide Potentiometer is based on a precision electromechanical device called a resistance wheel which is rotated in order to electro-mechanically transmit and adjust a voltage-dependent resistive electrical signal. This signal is capable of generating a precise and accurate voltage-dependent signal which is sent to an external circuit. This input signal is then transmitted through the external circuit to the device’s internal electrical components in order to activate the appropriate function. The resistance wheel is able to accurately measure the resistance because of its precise scale calibration, and its capability to accurately adjust the voltage level of the input signal. This accuracy and precision provides a wide range of potential applications for this type of Slide Potentiometer.
