One that I have used before....

Yes, but using this packages in DIY projects is not very handy...
About the motorized pots, they are a bit expensive and run it on a low power environment could be a bit tricky... I know that a servo isn't better than this, this was just a funny project.

They are available in soic and DIP as well. http://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/Devices.aspx?product=MCP41010

Search "motorised rheostat" and you can find some very high-power ones, used in industrial control applications:

OMG how could I never see this? :o |O I've asked so many times for an electronic variable resistor and the only replys I got were recommending that other IC rx8pilot posted.
Thank you very much!!!

The word makes me think of the "actuator" that controls the throttle of a Diesel engine in a 1000kVA UPS/GenSet.

True there are digital potentiometer chips...but this one also features several kV isolation :)
