Newgate Simms
Potentiometer Lubricant 813-1
Nye Lubricants offers a range of specialist greases and oils to the electronics industry.
These include electrical connector gels for electrical contact and multipin connectors; synthetic lubricants designed for high-vacuum and cleanroom environments; barrier films for PCBs; lubricants for potentiometers and sliding position sensors.
Potentiometers and other sliding position sensors are electromechanical devices whose performance and operating life can be improved through lubrication.
Each of these devices has a metal wiper that moves along a resistive element to regulate current flow to a device or to indicate when pre-calibrated positions are reached.
The tracks may be any of a variety of conductive materials: wound metal wire, conductive plastic or ceramic compositions.
Newgate Simms is offering electronics engineers a free sample of the Potentiometer Lubricant 813-1.
This free sachet sample offer is available to businesses in the UK and Ireland.
