Hi,
yes, a hall sensor don´t wear out but it´s not so easy to adapt them on an existing system and it´s not easy to build an microcontroller based circuit and code to use them as rudder sensors.
So I prefer to use simpler not somehow tinkered systems like this with build in potentiometer. As the coastal and northsea sailor that I am such a system will accompany me on my travels for longer.
If the potentiometer is dead it´s possible to change it.
So I think such a actuator regardless of whether from a chinese dealer or another should be ok.
The bullet-proof solution is an implementation of hall sensors, shure.
Best regards
Andreas
