Ultra-Thin 300mm Linear Flexible Potentiometer Sensor with IP67 Protection for Curved Surface Touch Control Applications Arduino / ESP32 / Raspberry Pi Compatible
The Ultra-Thin 300mm Linear Flexible Potentiometer is a high-performance position sensing solution designed for modern human-machine interfaces and flexible electronics. With an ultra-slim thickness of just 0.45mm, this graphene-based ribbon sensor easily conforms to curved and irregular surfaces, making it ideal for wearables, smart dashboards, soft robotics, and industrial control panels. It functions as a compact alternative to traditional mechanical sliders, enabling smooth and precise linear touch input across a full 300mm sensing length.
Engineered for durability and real-world deployment, the sensor features IP67-rated protection against water and dust, ensuring reliable operation in harsh environments. It delivers ±2mm position accuracy with a fast response time of under 1ms, enabling real-time control and feedback. The simple three-pin analog interface ensures seamless compatibility with platforms such as Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi, while the pre-installed silicone wire and adhesive backing allow quick and hassle-free installation.

Flexible Architecture Meets Precision Detection
The graphene-based pressure-sensitive material achieves position detection precision of ±2mm across the whole 300mm sensing length. Its 0.45mm thickness allows the sensor to flex and conform to curved surfaces without sacrificing measurement integrity. The sensor's sub-1ms response time ensures that even quick positional changes are detected with minimal latency, allowing it to generate continuous, linear position signals that directly translate physical displacement into actionable electrical data. This combination of flexibility and precision avoids the trade-off found in classic potentiometers, which require mechanical stiffness for precise readings.
Streamlined Integration with Open-Source Platforms
This versatile potentiometer requires only three pins to function properly, delivering an intuitive analog output that works flawlessly with Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi platforms. Position data is retrieved using normal analog-to-digital conversion, which eliminates the need for specialist drivers or complicated communication protocols. The pre-installed 300mm silicone cable with standard connector speeds up prototyping cycles, allowing developers to get from concept to functional validation in minutes instead of hours.
Industrial-Grade Durability in Flexible Form
The IP67-rated sensor assembly can withstand water immersion and dust entry while remaining operational for over 1 million press cycles. The pre-applied double-sided adhesive backing allows for stable mounting on a variety of substrates without the need for extra fasteners or adhesives, and the low actuation force range of 20-50g guarantees comfortable user contact while preventing premature wear. This flexible potentiometer's endurance profile makes it ideal for use in moisture-prone locations and high-frequency contact scenarios where maintenance access is limited or expensive.
