Standard
Potentiometers
Series P6500

Special features• very long life - 100 x 106
movements• very good linearity standard ± 0.05 %,• very high resolution better than 0.007°• high admissible operating
speed 10 000 min-1• unrestricted continuous
rotation
Precision potentiometer formeasuring, control and instrumentation applications.
The distinguishing features of
the P 6500 include an all
metal case, ball-bearings, a
conductive resistance element
and elastomer-damped
wipers.
As a high-precision angulardisplacement transducer thispotentiometer meets all kindsof analog applications.
Together with an A/D converter
it serves as a low-cost digitalabsolute-encoder for precisionsetting or pick-up and thus
opens a multitude of digitalapplications.
Special versions with different
electrical travels and shaft
dimensions are available.

Important
All the values given in thisdata sheet for linearity, lifetimeand temperature coefficient in
the voltage dividing mode arequoted for the device operating with the wiper voltage driving on operational amplifier
working as a voltage follower,
where virtually no load is applied to the wiper (le ≤ 1µA).
