Herga Technology is introducing a 6210-VO low-cost all-electronic foot potentiometer that provides a variable-voltage output proportional to the position of the pedal. Aimed at applications across medical equipment, domestic appliance, office and industrial machinery, the robust 6210-VO foot potentiometer features a solid-state optical sensor for non-contact, wear-free operation with long and reliable life of more than one million operations. The unit is designed for use on manually operated equipment with control input ratings from 4.5-12V DC at 10mA, enabling precise adjustment of functions such as motor speed or torque for lifting, mixing, dispensing, cutting and sealing - and all areas where a low-cost means of providing manually controlled variable functions is required.
