Przykłady potentiometer

• Potentiometers operated by a mechanism can be used as position transducers, for example, in a joystick.

• Preset potentiometers are widely used throughout electronics wherever adjustments must be made during manufacturing or servicing.

• The widespread use of potentiometers in consumer electronics declined in the 1990s, with rotary encoders, up/down push-buttons, and other digital controls now more common.

• Multiturn potentiometers are also operated by rotating a shaft, but by several turns rather than less than a full turn.

• They are usually called preset potentiometers or trimming pots.

• Potentiometers which are seldom adjusted, especially in dirty or harsh environments, are most likely to develop this problem.

• When television sets were first introduced, the controls were potentiometers made out of wax.

• The 2 sticks each used a pair of potentiometers, but were not self-centering.

• User-actuated potentiometers are widely used as user controls, and may control a very wide variety of equipment functions.

• Most (cheaper) log potentiometers are not accurately logarithmic, but use two regions of different resistance (but constant resistivity) to approximate a logarithmic law.

• By tuning the potentiometers, a short repetitive rhythmic motif or riff can be set up.

• The mechanical type requires debouncing and is typically used as digital potentiometers on equipment including consumer devices.

• The controls are analog switches and potentiometers but do not adjust the synth cards directly.

• Common control components used include potentiometers, variable capacitors, and rotary switches.

• Simple servomotors may use resistive potentiometers as their position encoder.
