⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Carter - Automation Systems Engineer
"We installed the Pro Model of this string potentiometer in our chemical packaging line back in February 2025, and it’s been running non-stop for 6 months with zero drift or signal loss. The IP68 rating and corrosion-resistant housing are no joke—survived multiple washdown cycles and aggressive solvents without issue. Optical hybrid tech delivers the precision we need for filling accuracy within ±0.2% F.S."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Linda Park - Senior Maintenance Technician
"Replacing our old resistive sensors with the Advanced Model was a game-changer. Installed in a high-speed bottling line in October 2024, and after 8 months of 24/7 operation, not a single recalibration needed. The modular mounting base made retrofitting painless, and the shielded cable eliminated noise interference we used to get from nearby motors."Purchase Date: October 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ David Reynolds - Automation Integration Lead
"Deployed 12 units across our warehouse conveyor positioning system in April 2025. After 4 months, all are performing reliably. The 6000mm range covers our longest transfer zones perfectly, and the current output integrates seamlessly with our PLCs. Only reason for 4 stars is that initial setup documentation could be more detailed—had to contact support for wiring diagrams."Purchase Date: April 2025 | Usage Period: 4 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Elena Martinez - Robotics Integration Consultant
"I design bespoke automation cells, and this sensor has become my go-to for linear position feedback. Ordered the custom cable length and mounting configuration for a robotic palletizer in January 2025. Eight months in, and it’s outperformed expectations. The optical amplifier ensures clean signal even in electrically noisy environments. Plus, the RoHS/CE compliance makes it easy to certify machines for EU export."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Thomas Wong - Operations Manager
"We use the Base Model on our carton sealing machines—purchased in August 2024. Six months later, still running strong. For the price, the accuracy (±0.5% F.S.) is more than sufficient. Love the aluminum base; way sturdier than the plastic housings we used before. Only downside: labeling could be clearer—had one technician misalign the string during replacement."Purchase Date: August 2024 | Usage Period: 6 months

Dr. Alan Foster - Industrial Sensing Technology Specialist
"Among string potentiometers, this 6000mm optical-hybrid model stands out for its balance of precision and durability. The integration of optical amplification reduces signal degradation in high-vibration environments—a common failure point in resistive-only designs. For packaging and material handling systems demanding long-range accuracy, I recommend the Advanced or Pro models for their thermal stability and ingress protection."
Nina Patel - Factory Automation Consultant
"After evaluating over 30 sensor types for industrial clients, I consistently specify this product for long-stroke linear measurement. Its modular design saves hours during commissioning, and the customization options allow seamless fit into retrofits. The fact that it meets both RoHS and CE standards makes it a safe choice for global deployments."
