String Potentiometers

TE Connectivity's String Potentiometers, also known as cable-actuated position sensors, offer a reliable and cost-effective solution for precise linear position measurement across a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. These sensors convert linear motion into an electrical signal using a durable retractable cable mechanism, ideal for environments where traditional linear sensors may be impractical. Designed for versatility, TE’s string potentiometers are available in various configurations to support different stroke lengths, mounting styles, and output options. These devices are easy to install and integrate, with compact form factors and rugged construction that withstand harsh conditions, including dust, moisture, and vibration.
