Extensive Line of Low Cost, Reliable Position Feedback Potentiometers



Offers 100,000,000 Revolutions/Strokes Minimum Life- Can Be Lower Cost Alternative To ENCODERS, LVDT's, RVDT's AND RESOLVERS

Grass Valley, CA. January 14, 2003-A complete line of low-cost, reliable position feedback potentiometers is now available from JDK Controls, offering 100,000,000 revolutions/strokes minimum life.

Typical applications include:

o Actuators o Robotic Joints o Motor Feedbacks o Directional Sensing/Fin positioning o Valve positioning o Instruments o Engine Controls o Joysticks/Video Controls o Industrial Controls o Medical Positioning Controls

JDK's manufacturing process produces a flush circuit element that has a longer life and is more reliable than most pots and therefore can often be a lower cost alternative to ENCODERS, LVDT's, RVDT's and RESOLVERS. They are available in standard or custom designs, open or closed packaging. Also with NEXT ASSEMBLY CAPABILITIES (soldering, connectors, motors etc.)
