Hoffmann + Krippner Inc. SENSOFOIL®: Membrane Potentiometer SENSOFOIL® On FR4

SENSOFOIL® Products SENSOFOIL® ultra-flat membrane potentiometer - The perfect linear and crotary position sensors Flat, wear-free and hermetically sealed: SENSOFOIL® membrane potentiometers by Hoffmann + Krippner are the perfect ultra-flat linear and rotary position sensors. Due to their flat design of 0.5 mm to 1 mm and their simple adaptation to customer requirements, SENSOFOIL® membrane potentiometers by Hoffmann + Krippner are the ideal solution for restricted installation conditions. The technical specifications of the SENSOFOIL® membrane potentiometers correspond to those of conventional precision potentiometers or even surpass these. They offer an attractive cost advantage and are easy to use. Standard elements of 50 mm to 500 mm are available off the shelf, as well as very favourably priced customer-specific variations. In particular the good repeat accuracy, the easy to achieve redundancy and the problem-free integration represent decisive advantages. SENSOFOIL® follows the shape and function of the specific application: linear, circular or customer-specific shapes are available, on request also with non-contact connection (SENSOFOIL® MAGNET). Depending on various parameters, the life cycle is between 1 million cycles to 60 million cycles and the repeat accuracy 1 mm to 10 µm. The standard products are sealed to IP 65 / NEMA4X.
