Resistance output changes between 0-5kΩ with linear position. Monitor movement in a variety of situations, such as expansion of metals.
A bolt-on screw thread jig (similar to that described in the Advancing Physics notes) enables calibration to be easily carried out.
The Linear Position Sensor is a precision linear potentiometer with almost limitless scope for inventive applications.
The sensor is mounted on a sturdy acrylic base with connections brought out to 4mm sockets enabling the whole assembly to be clamped and used in any position.
Dimensions: 180 x 70 x 40mm overall.
