Part no.: SLPC
• Measuring range 10 - 400 mm
• Long mechanical life 100 million movements
• Excellent repeatability <0.01 mm
• 3 kOhm: 10 ... 50mm, 5 kOhm: 75 ... 400mm
Opkon SLPC potentiometers are easy to install and have long lifetimes thanks to the rodeye ends. They are an alternative to Novotechnik TEX and TX2 as well as Gefran PZ34A series sensors.

How-to: 2 Point Operation of an Open Collector Switch Output
In this example, the switch point has been set to ‘Full Alarm’. By setting the switch point to 90% with an 80% hysteresis, the switch will come on at 90% and switch off at 10%.
Accuracy, Resolution and Repeatability
There are several key terms that are critical to specifying the optimal position sensor for a given application. This application note defines these key terms and how they relate to the sensor’s role in the overall system performance. It is important to consider that precision is very much a system issue and can be dominated by mechanical errors such as eccentricity. This paper discusses the most significant mechanical error for rotary applications (eccentricity) and presents eccentricity tolerant position sensor solutions.
Facing the Inevitable: Sensor Obsolescence, Mitigation Strategies, and Alternatives
Obsolescence. If its only difficulty was remembering how it is spelled it wouldn’t be so bad. And whether you’re trying to replace a sensor that has failed with age or are a manufacturer who can no longer source an important sensor, obsolescence of an inexpensive sensor can create extremely expensive headache. At Everight Position we help customers to understand the causes of sensor obsolescence, explore mitigation strategies and find alternative solutions.
Positek’s portfolio includes a range of high-accuracy linear sensors specifically designed for use in submersible applications. Made from marine grade stainless steel and offering the reliability that is not possible from a submersible LVDT or linear potentiometer, our sensors have served a host of different industries such as wastewater and offshore oil drilling. Another use […]
