Linear Position Sensor Potentiometer is a type of sensor that is used to measure linear position or displacement. It is also known as a linear potentiometer or a sliding potentiometer. Linear Position Sensor Potentiometer consists of a resistive element, which is typically made of a conductive material such as carbon or a metal film, and a wiper that slides along the element's surface. The wiper's position on the resistive element determines the resistance between the two terminals of the potentiometer, which can be measured to determine the linear position or displacement of the wiper.
