Standard resistance range (E3 series: 1K0, 2K2, 4K7, 10K, 22K, 47K, 100K, 220K, 470K, 1M0 ohms)
Note: Other resistance values are special and are priced on application
Temperature Range: -10ºC to +70ºC

SERVO POTENTIOMETERS

Superior quality servo potentiometers (or Angular Feedback Position Sensors) are a precision potentiometer made to give a longer life using a flush bonded conductive track and a nickel silver wiper to provide low contact resistance. They are available in three sizes.

Common features for the servo potentiometer include:

10 x 10⁶ life cycles
Fully machined metal body
Standard mounting by servo clamp

Optional features for the servo potentiometer include:

Mounting by bush and locknut
Hole fixing on the front face (2 holes for CP11 and 3 holes for CP18 and CP20)
A centre tap is available to special order

For more information please go to the:

1.1 inch diameter, 0.5 Watt CP11 Servo potentiometer
1.8 inch diameter, 3.0 Watt CP18 Servo potentiometer
2.0 inch diameter, 5.0 Watt CP20 Servo potentiometer
