Hall Effect vs Potentiometer in Linear Actuators: Which is Better?

Hall effect is a term that has dominated the recent discussions in the event that you follow consumer electronics. The popularity of the hall effect joystick as a gaming upgrade has been driven by the universal discontent with “stick drift” in PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch controllers, which gamers in consumer environments are fed up with due to their unreliable hardware. Nevertheless, this sensor technology controversy goes way beyond the gaming peripheral world.
Rotational to Linear Motion: The Ultimate Guide for Industrial Automation

In the modern industrial automation world, a motor forms the basic backbone of virtually all machines. It does not matter whether you are working with a standard AC induction motor, a very fine stepper motor or a high-performance servo drive, the mechanical output is always the same: rotary motion. The real physical work on a factory floor, pushing, pulling, lifting, pressing, cutting and positioning payloads, however, overwhelmingly requires controllable linear motion.
