Hi,
theese lifetime circle informations are not always given.
I don´t found any informations about this for the commercial rudder sensors from Raymarine or similar.
If the movement of such an actuator worns out the potentiometer I´ll see when using it over some years. But I think the lifetime from this is the same as the one from Raymarine sensors.
Best regards
