The measurement of displacement, position or say location is an important parameter in industries. The simplest and fairly accurate tranducer ( sensor ) used to measure displacement is potentiometer. This sensor converts linear ( or angular ) displacement into electrical signals, by changing its resistance.A potentiometeric transducer is an electromechanical device contains a resistive element which is kept fixed at two ends and a wiper arrangement is made as moveable slider.
