Position measurement in thrusters

Explore the project


Large vessels are equipped with thrusters to make the vessel more manoeuvrable in critical situations. Our rotary potentiometers provide angle position feedback of steerable thrusters, while our linear potentiometers provide position feedback of the thruster blades. They offer high precision and long life expectancy.
