Sliding linear potentiometers are classified according to the regulation mode:

Potentiometers can be divided into rotary potentiometers, push-pull potentiometers, direct-sliding potentiometers and other types according to their regulation modes.

Classification according to the law of variation of resistance value

Potentiometers can be divided into linear potentiometer, exponential potentiometer and logarithmic potentiometer according to the variation of resistance value.

Sliding linear potentiometers are classified according to their structural characteristics.

Potentiometers can be divided into single-loop potentiometer, multi-loop potentiometer, single-link potentiometer, double-link potentiometer, multi-link potentiometer, tapped potentiometer, switching potentiometer, locking potentiometer, non-locking potentiometer and patch potentiometer.

Sliding linear potentiometers are classified according to driving mode:

Potentiometers can be divided into manual regulated potentiometer and electric regulated potentiometer according to the driving mode.

Other Special Types of Sliding Linear Potentiometer

Switching potentiometer attached:

Usually used to integrate the volume switch with the power switch, that is, to turn the switch to the bottom counterclockwise to cut off and turn off the power supply.
