Bad points
Good points
1. Life limited by wear
1. Absolute position 2. Not suited for dither /vibration
2. Highly stable real time output applications
Good points
1. Absolute high accuracy non contact sensing Bad points
2. Extremely rugged for shock / vibration 1. Large drive electronics needed
3. Operates in very high and low temperatures 2. Electronics separate need mounting
4. Very small footprint consideration ( except new ICT800 /820)
5. Strokes from 25mm to 2M 3. Installation of core & electronics not the easiest
6. Limitless life ( application permitting) 4. Higher cost than potentiometers
