Displacement sensor potentiometer

Did you ever think, how do machines determining the distance of something? It can be quite interesting. One such tool that proves to be quite helpful in the task is a type of displacement sensor, namely Potentiometer. Gauges are essential in ensuring that the dimensions machines indicate during service and measurements should be accurate. 

The SOP displacement sensor potentiometers are special components that can determine the distance that an object has moved from a given point. Things like airplane controls, robots or even fun toys you might have played with at home. This displacement sensor can lead us to an appreciation of all the cool technology we are surrounded with when they start working properly, and fascination about why anyone thinks that it is a good idea when things refuse.  

How displacement sensor potentiometers work

Well that is perfect here we will discuss the working of displacement sensor potentiometers. This is easiest to understand (although wrong) by imagining them as volume controls on a radio. The volume adjusts when you twist the knob to increase or decrease the sound. That's because the knob is straddling a potentiometer, essentially just another device inside of guitar. This potentiometer measures how much you turned it and sends a signal to the radio that increases or decreases volume. 

Similarly a SOP linear displacement is capable of determining how much an object has been displaced rather than measuring sound. If you adjust something that is connected to the potentiometer, it sends a signal to the machine they are attached together. This signal informs the robot where exactly its object has moved, and it is so important that without this reading would not work.
