A resistor is characterized by an always constant resistive value. With the same applied voltage, it will always pass the same amount of current. The potentiometer, on the other hand, is an electronic ...

A new breed of electronically adjustable resistors promises to ease fine-tuning in sensors and other electronic devices. Adjustable resistors have come a long way from mechanical potentiometers set ...

ams AG introduced the AS5600, a magnetic rotary position sensor which makes it easier than ever before to replace a traditional potentiometer with a more reliable contactless alternative. To appeal to ...
