The OMEGA® LP802 Series linear potentiometers 
measure linear position or displacement up to  
150 mm (6") in a wide variety of manufacturing  
and process applications. With their long life, front and 
rear bearings, anodized extruded aluminum housings, 
stainless steel shafts, and precious-metal wipers 
and contacts, these devices are suitable for harsh 
factory environments. Based on a conductive plastic 
film element, the LP802 provides high resolution and 
absolute position measurement without using  
external signal conditioners.
