Potentiometer - supine

Model 6273 1-1/16” Diameter single turn conductive plastic potentiometer from BI technologies.

Our potentiometer (pot) is a plastic resistive material configured in a circular geometry. The output voltage is linearly related to the rotational displacement of a mechanical contact (called a sweeper) that sweeps along the surface of the resistive material. The resistance range of this pot is from 1K to 900K.

We use a custom-built Potentiometer module to amplify the potentiometer signal; the module has been calibrated to produce a signal of 10V/rad.
