POTENTIOMETER, AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING AN ANGULAR POSITION OF A PART

摘要

The invention relates to a potentiometer comprising (a) at least two electrically conducting segments (12), each of which has a contact end (14) that is bordered by a circumferential edge (16) and which adjoin each other in a flush manner by means of one respective section (18, 20) of the edges (16) thereof, and (b) a connecting device (38) for electrically connecting a first contact point (P1) in a first segment to at least one second contact point (P2, P3) in a second segment that is different from the first segment. The invention further relates to a method for determining the angular position of a part by means of said potentiometer.
