Procurement Notes

Verify the specific output voltage range (0-5V or 0-10V) and total travel length against the official datasheet before procurement. Confirm that the operating environment temperature falls within the component's rated limits. Ensure the power supply voltage remains within the 14.5V to 40V specification to prevent damage. Check for any required mounting hardware or specific cable termination requirements detailed in the manufacturer documentation.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a regulated analog output is required for linear position sensing in industrial environments. Consider the maximum travel length and cable actuation style if mechanical integration is a priority. Evaluate the power supply constraints to ensure compatibility with the 14.5V to 40V input requirement. Compare against other string potentiometers if different output types or environmental ratings are needed.
