Re: Limitless Potentiometers
We use Digi-Key part 6639S-1-103-ND for our arms and linkages. It is a Bourns Series 6639 potentiometer. It provides electrical output over 340 degrees of rotation but there are no mechanical stops in it. That means it is easy to install and calibrate since you do not need to worry about breaking the stops due to over travel. It is somewhat expensive at $11.
