IP65 Linear Potentiometer

There are several types of linear position sensor available, many of which are stocked by ADM. One question we are frequently asked is what is the best type of linear position to use? The answer is it very much depends on your application. Where some people can be confused is determining the difference between linear potentiometers and LVDT transducers. What are the Differences Between LVDTs and Linear Potentiometers? Linear Potentiometers and LVDTs (linear variable differential transformers) have several features in common, which makes it a little unclear as to which applications each is best
