I have a Glideforce GF23-120502-3-65 linear actuator with pot feedback and 2" stroke. I have 2 questions/concerns:
-
It appears that only about 40% of the potentiometer is being used over the full stroke length (~0.4 kOhm fully retracted to ~4.7 kOhm fully extended for the 10 kOhm pot). Is this normal? I was expecting the entire pot to be used.
-
The readings are not repeatable. For example, when fully extending the motor the readings may vary by up to ~10% over multiple iterations. Is there an explanation for this other than a bad/loose pot?
Thanks!
