Can anyone recommend a reliable rotary position sensor for a slow-moving load that rotates about 70 degrees in a minute.
The current system has a 8:1 pulley and a multiturn potentiometer and 4-20 mA interface, but it's worn out after a little more than a year, cycling about 30 times daily. I need an absolute output, preferably 4-20 mA analog.
I have looked at the Celesco RT8000 series, the Gemco 1786A and the AMCI DC425 Duracoder.
I hope somebody on the Forum can say "I use model X from brand Y and it has worked for years with no trouble".
