Schiebepotentiometer
A Schiebepotentiometer, known in English as a sliding potentiometer, is a passive electronic component that provides a variable resistance as a slider moves along a resistive track. It acts as a linear voltage divider with two fixed end terminals and a movable wiper that taps the resistance at the slider position.
Construction and form: The device consists of a resistive element on a substrate (commonly carbon film, cermet,
Operation and electrical characteristics: As the slider moves, the resistance between the wiper and each end
Applications: Schiebepotentiometers are used as user controls in audio equipment (volume faders, balance), musical instruments, mixing
Variations and related devices: They come in single-gang or multi-gang configurations, with various shaft orientations and
