<p>A linear potentiometer, which is used for measuring the relative movement between component parts of a processing machine, particularly an injection molding machine, wherein the covering band of the linear potentiometer, which band covers a longitudinal slit in the upper surface of a tubular housing for a resistance element, is guided through the potentiometer slide per se by means of through openings with a slight upward curvature. As a result, the prerequisites are met that the entire potentiometer slide, including its guide ribs, its slide body and its anchoring plate for a joint, can be formed as an integral cast shaped part made of a high-polymer material. With this type of a slide embodiment, the accuracy of measurement can be kept at a sufficiently high level over long periods of time, even under conditions of extremely sever strains.</p> |
