Potentiometric displacement sensor

They utilize a potentiometer part to sense (outputs) in this way. A potentiometer looks kind of like a very long, skinny piece or wire. Any movement of anything from this wire will alter the electric signal that passes through it (when used in conjunction with a circuit). This is very important because the potentiometer detects these changes, and from here it can actually know how far did that object moved. That is in that sense 'an electronic,' measuring tape. Measure how far something has gone by with electronics, instead of a physical cup-forming. 

There are several ways in which SOP potentiometric displacement sensors can measure movement. This could be done using a magnet that is fixed to the object in motion. The proximity of the object causes a metal strip inside the sensor to move closer or farther away and pass it's information onto a magnet contained in each tire. That then modifies the change in electric signal-which lets us know how much the object has moved. The string potentiometer is a creative approach to distance detection where interaction with the object in direct contact not even required. 

How do potentiometric displacement sensors measure linear motion?

The third critical ways these sensors work is using a wiper. The wiper travels with the object and slides across a wire-based (right) potentiometer. The wiper also changes the electrical signal. This change in its signal is a measure of movement. Therefore, whether u stick an accelerometer or gyroscope to a moving object it will always find away of measuring how far this has gone. 

These sensors are the best practical choice that can work in all kinds of factories, and industries. The most obvious reason is their reliability. The SOP string pot potentiometer are sensitive to minute movements. This gives it the ability to track very small distances it is moved. This seems to be useful in many cases, especially when small errors which are forgiven today will lead later again and again into new problems due to the recursive nature of software.
