Oil filled linear potentiometer WGO40 Linear position sensor with wirewound element, hermetically sealed, measuring ranges 100–300 mm for harsh environments Independent linearity up to 0.1% Service life over 10 million movements Actuation speed < 2 m/s Operating temperature −30…+60 °C Protection IP55 Power rating up to 3 W Wirewound technology with oil filling — stable operation under challenging conditions The hermetically sealed, oil-filled design of this wire-wound linear potentiometer provides reliable protection against environmental influences and ensures a stable output signal throughout its entire service life. Thanks to the wire-wound technology, the sensor can handle higher electrical loads (up to 3 W, depending on the measurement length). For precise measurement tasks, operation as a voltage divider is recommended, as this keeps the wiper current low and the signal reproducible. Options Measuring lengths 100 / 200 / 300 mm Resistance values 100 Ω / 200 Ω / 500 Ω / 1 kΩ / 2 kΩ / 5 kΩ / 10 kΩ / 20 kΩ / 50 kΩ / 100 kΩ Resistance tolerance: ±5%; option ±3% Solder pins / 2 m round cable / 6 pin connector Enhanced linearity For series production, customer specific versions are available — e.g. pre-assembled leads and cables with or without connectors, probe tips, and special shaft lengths.
