The SK22B single-turn contactless potentiometer output is from 10% to 90% of the input voltage, which is 10 times better than the previous designs. The independent linearity tolerance is ±0.5%, or three times better than previous designs.

The SK22B single-turn contactless potentiometer output is from 10% to 90% of the input voltage, which is 10 times better than the previous designs. The independent linearity tolerance is ±0.5%, or three times better than previous designs. Rotational life expectancy is 100 million turns, with the servo-mount version offering a life expectancy of 200 million turns. The single-turn pots are available in sealed body versions for protection from moisture, dust and other harsh environments. Applications are angle or position feedback for industrial machines, medical instruments, and so on.
