POTENTIOMETERS Concepts and Definitions Potentiometers are electromechanical components and therefore exposed not only to the weaknesses of fixed resistors but also to all the failure possibilities of electromechanics. The reliability is comparatively poor. It will be even lower if we try to tool the shafts for our own special applications!!
