Phoenix University - Earn your degree sooner than you think
      Manufacturers of products that are highly reliant on technology – those in the industrial, automotive and aerospace fields, for example- have been pushing for smaller and smaller Membrane Potentiometer Sensors.  Smaller sensors would mean their products can meet increasing demand for miniaturization, but there’s always been a problem: no-one could produce a small sensor that could also withstand 60 degree Celsius and 100% humidity operating temperatures.  For years, it seemed unlikely that this technological hurdle would be overcome.  Spectra Symbol has finally broken the barrier, introducing a line of potentiometers able to withstand the toughest operational environments.  Measuring only 0.5mm in thickness, this ultra-thin sensor is made from a range of materials, including polyester and fiberglass (depending on temperature resistance and cycle need of the application).  Drawing on over 30 years of experience, multiple patents and proprietary technology, Spectra Symbol has designed a Linear sensor able to meet the needs of industry.
