Exxelia has been developing contact and contactless position sensors for nearly 50 years for all high reliability applications including aviation, space and defense.
Exxelia offers optical encoders as well as linear & rotary potentiometers in all sizes, from miniature to the largest dimensions.
Products are available as catalog items and all can be slightly or deeply modified to respond to any mechanical, thermal and environmental requirements. Fully customized versions are also available.
Customized potentiometers can be specified using a detailed order code that includes segments for nominal resistance, linearity, electrical travel, mechanical options, and compliance. Contact technical support for assistance with specific configurations.
The starting torques range from ≤ 0.1 N.cm for miniature models to ≤ 5 x 10–3 N.m for models with precision bearings.
The potentiometer series includes single-turn rotary potentiometers, multi-turn rotary potentiometers, rectilinear potentiometers, and pancake potentiometers. These are designed to suit a wide range of applications from precise position sensing to control systems.
The core technologies include wirewound, conductive plastic, and hybrid elements, providing various performance characteristics such as high resolution, long life, and excellent linearity.
Potentiometers undergo rigorous testing, including:
These potentiometers are designed to withstand high levels of vibration and shock:
