Springloaded linear potentiometer
(1/2) > >>
Sudo_apt-get_install_yum:
Im working on a project where i need to measure a small amount of linear movement (a few millimeters).
I had a few laying around but cant find a supplier for them does anybody know of any company who produces or supplies these types of potentiometers?

I would like to hear if anybody has a better solution for measuring very small movements in one axis

The below image is of the linear potentiometer.

What level of accuracy do you need? How fast is your target moving?
Sudo_apt-get_install_yum:
The speed is variable but it’s never more than a few millimeters per second. The accuracy should be somewhere between 1/10mm - 1/100mm.

Maybe the same idea behind precision rulers/calipers...
Maybe you can repurpose a mouse sensor
Maybe you can do some infrared led and detector annd measure change in light as object moves
permanent magnets on partt, hall effect sensors on botom?
