Geared Potentiometers

Geared potentiometers are used for absolute measurement of angles and distance. Adjustments performed in the absence of operating voltage are measured by these devices and transmitted to the display or control system when operating voltage is restored. Use with SIKO's RA50 Display for an absolute positioning system.

Geared potentiometer GP02
By combining a gear mechanism and potentiometer in one casing, the mechanical angle of rotation is related by a single or multi-turn potentiometer to the adjustment range. 100 revolutions using a 10-turn potentiometer and 10 step-up gear mechanism will relate the angle of rotation of the potentiometer's 3600 degrees to the measuring range of 36000 degrees.

Geared potentiometer GP03
By combining a gear mechanism and potentiometer in one casing, the mechanical angle of rotation is related by a single or multi-turn potentiometer to the adjustment range. 100 revolutions using a 10-turn potentiometer and 10 step-up gear mechanism will relate the angle of rotation of the potentiometer's 3600 degrees to the measuring range of 36000 degrees.

A slipping clutch between the gear mechanism and the potentiometer prevents irreparable mechanical damage to the potentiometer.

Geared potentiometer GP04
By combining a gear mechanism and potentiometer in one casing, the mechanical angle of rotation is related by a single or multi-turn potentiometer to the adjustment range. 100 revolutions using a 10-turn potentiometer and 10 step-up gear mechanism will relate the angle of rotation of the potentiometer's 3600 degrees to the measuring range of 36000 degrees.
