The Role of Linear Potentiometers in Optimizing Position Feedback Systems
The Role of Linear Potentiometers in Optimizing Position Feedback Systems Engineers use a linear potentiometer as a precise, ratiometric position transducer. The slider moves along a resistive element, producing a voltage that is proportional to its travel and referenced to a stable supply. When read ratiometrically, the scale remains accurate despite supply drift. Effective resolution, linearity across […]
Understanding Potentiometers: The Backbone of Accurate Control Systems
Understanding Potentiometers: The Backbone of Accurate Control Systems Engineers use potentiometers as precise, ratiometric position sensors. A wiper moves along a resistive track to produce a voltage that is proportional to its motion and referenced to a stable supply. When the controller reads the voltage ratiometrically, accuracy is maintained even with supply variations, and minor adjustments […]
The Growing Importance of the Industrial Actuator in Smart Manufacturing
The Growing Importance of the Industrial Actuator in Smart Manufacturing Smart manufacturing relies on measurable and reliable motion. A well-specified industrial actuator should reach the designated setpoint, report its position accurately with stable scaling and time stamps, and maintain a brief history of recent movements. This combination streamlines troubleshooting, keeps production recipes within specified limits, and enhances […]
Innovative Valve Actuator Designs: Improving Fluid Control Systems
Innovative Valve Actuator Designs: Improving Fluid Control Systems Production targets are increasing, while quality standards are becoming stricter, and teams are remaining lean. Plants require a valve actuator that can make precise movements on command, maintain its position during changes in load and temperature, and provide consistent, reliable data. This means they need clean starts, […]

Electric Valve Actuators Improving Control and Energy Efficiency
Electric Valve Actuators Improving Control and Energy Efficiency Small mismatches between setpoint and valve position add up to wasted energy, off-spec product, and extra maintenance. The right choice and setup of electric valve actuators turns those losses into stable control, shorter cycles, and measurable savings on utility bills. This guide traces how actuators matured from […]
Why Hall Effect Joysticks Are the Backbone of Modern Automation
Why Hall Effect Joysticks Are the Backbone of Modern Automation Small gaps between command and motion can lead to significant inefficiencies on the floor. A Hall Effect Joystick helps bridge this gap by converting intent into a stable signal that maintains position, repeats accurately, and resists the noise that can disrupt control loops. The result […]
The Critical Role of Potentiometers in Accurate Position Feedback
The Critical Role of Potentiometers in Accurate Position Feedback Small shifts in position feedback can stall a line, blur batch records, and send operators back to retuning. The causes hide in ordinary choices, from the electrical range you select to the way the sensor is mounted and wired. If you want loops that settle quickly […]
Unlocking the Potential of Industrial Actuators in Modern Manufacturing
Unlocking the Potential of Industrial Actuators in Modern Manufacturing Sourcing becomes inefficient when actuator details are either estimated or poorly organized. Common errors include inaccurately estimating torque, misreading travel specifications, using a control signal that does not correspond with the control card, or selecting an inappropriate IP rating for washdown applications. Such mistakes can lead […]
