Potentiometer with heating

Frequent and rapid changes in temperatures mostly are the reason for mechanical stress which may cause different extensions of the material. Due to fast declining temperatures systems and components are target of condensation. Consequently leakage current, short-circuit or total failure occur.

In order to avoid condensation and freezing of the sensor can be protected by a hermetic barrier. Usually absolutely sealed systems may not be achieved by this method, because one of the characteristic of plastic is the permeation. Metallux solves this problem of diffusion by a controlled micro climate control of the system with heating.
