FSR™ Integr

ation Guide

Linear potentiometer strips can also be forme

with arcs. The example below is

fabricated on fpc with a board-to-board connector soldered on. Similar to straight linear

pots, these can measure position along the arc and force.

Full annular ring potentiometers are formed from overlapping sections of arc

potentiometers to provide u

nbroken and smooth 360° detection. Simple measurement

algorithms can be provided to interested customers. These can be made with outer

diameters greater than 18mm, with or without a hole in the center.

Touchpad

Interlink has also made a variety of resistive touchpad devices, such as the one pictured

below. These can measure X and Y in Cartesian coordinates, plus pressure. We also

have the unique capability to produce round or irregularly shaped Cartesion touchpads.
