A potentiometer for generating an electrical signal. The potentiometer has an elongated carrier formed of a flexible material and a band of resistive material applied to the carrier. A conductive wiper element is coupled to the elongated carrier at a position remote from the band of resistive material so that when the carrier is bent an electric contact is formed between the resistive band and the wiper element. An electrical signal is generated from the wiper element as flexing of the carrier occurs due to movement of a potentiometer actuator. Both a linear potentiometer and a rotary potentiometer are disclosed.
