Compact Conductive Plastic Rotary Potentiometer for Precise Angle Feedback
The NPS12 is a compact, precision-grade conductive plastic rotary potentiometer designed for angle sensing and feedback control in demanding environments. Built with a robust aluminium housing and machined shaft, it delivers reliable, repeatable angle measurement across its full electrical travel of 340 degree.
Unlike wirewound types, the conductive plastic resistive element provides truly infinite resolution, making it ideal for servo feedback loops, robotic joints, and precision positioning systems where smooth, continuous signal output is critical.
The NPS12 is used across industrial automation, medical equipment, locomotive controls, and defence applications where long life and stable output are required.
