Very small, very long life, 10 turn trimmer pot anywhere?

I'm looking for a very low-profile trimmer pot (since it has limits)
that will be used for a knob that will be used a lot.

An encoder would've been nice but they keep turning and they're also
hard to find in this size:


It needs to be 6mm or less body width, height not including shaft a
half inch or less, shaft diameter close to 1/8" or less.
resistance figures doesn't matter. just long life. all i can find is
200 cycle rotational life and that is ridiculously low.


Unless there's an encoder out there with limits on it in that size.

Get a conductive plastic type, and be prepared to pay a lot.
I have used some with ~10 milion cycles, but the aint cheap.
(and they aint small).
Else use a shaft incremental encoder with an up/down counter and ado.
