MagnetoPot Potentiometers
As a level sensor, both liquid level sensor and a magnetic potentiometer, the MagnetoPot will give linear feedback to position. For liquid level sensors, the MagnetoPot can attach to the outside of a liquid tank and give position of the magnet inside the float. No water ingress, no wearing of the part by environment, because the MagnetoPot is away from the activity.
Hydraulic and Pneumatic cylinders typically have only end Reed Switches to control over-extension, but the MagnetoPot can offer much more than the end Reed Switches; it can give full-travel position sensing with magnetic forces through a potentiometer output.
How it works
he MagnetoPot is made of polyester, fiberglass and kapton, depending on the specification required. It functions as a voltage divider, a resistor or rheostat, as desired by the end-user. By bringing the exterior magnet into a proximity necessary to connect with the internal magnetic attractors, the operator can obtain linear position sensing based on the location of the exterior magnet. As the exterior magnet moves, so does the electrical output of the MagnetoPot.
The MagnetoPot should not be mounted to a ferromagnetic surface.
Electrical Output
Just as with the traditional membrane potentiometer, the MagnetoPot gives a linear position feedback with the motion of the external magnet.
Res.-Tol. – ±20%
Lin.-Tol. – ±5%
Resolution: depends upon the exterior magnet strength and distance to the MagnetoPot
Internal Drive Magnet
The Spectra Symbol MagnetoPot uses a N42SH grade, Neodymium, magnet as the tracking magnet of the sensor. Spectra Symbol has partnered with K&J Magnetics.
MagnetoPot™ by Spectra Symbol – Contactless Magnetic Position Sensing with Precision and Simplicity
Presented by Amironic – Official Representative in Israel
Looking for a contactless, durable, and cost-effective way to track motion or fluid levels with precision? Introducing MagnetoPot™ by Spectra Symbol – a magnetic linear position sensor that combines the affordability of a reed switch with the functionality of a potentiometer. It’s smart, elegant, and remarkably versatile.
Now available in Israel through Amironic, MagnetoPot™ is the answer for OEMs and engineers seeking reliable linear feedback without direct contact or mechanical wear.
Why MagnetoPot™?
-
True Contactless Operation
-
Acts as a Voltage Divider / Potentiometer
-
Affordable – Comparable to a Reed Switch, But Far More Capable
-
Linear Output Over Full Travel Range
-
Ideal for Cylinders, Motion Systems, and Fluid Level Monitoring
-
No Moving Parts, No Wear, No Contamination Risk
What Is MagnetoPot™?
Unlike reed switches that only register simple open/close states, MagnetoPot™ delivers continuous linear feedback — all driven magnetically.
By placing a magnet externally (such as on a float, a piston, or inside a moving cylinder), the MagnetoPot detects its position using built-in magnetic attractors, functioning as a standard membrane potentiometer with a magnetic twist.
It behaves just like a classic voltage divider or analog resistor (rheostat), but without the mechanical contact — making it ideal for environments sensitive to contamination, moisture, or wear.
Typical Applications
-
Hydraulic and Pneumatic Cylinders:
Traditional reed switches only detect end positions. MagnetoPot™ provides full-range travel sensing without needing internal electronics. -
Liquid Level Sensing:
Mount the MagnetoPot™ outside the tank, and track the magnet inside the float. No liquid contact, no leakage risk. -
Contactless Motion Tracking:
For robotics, automotive, industrial automation, and medical systems — wherever non-contact, linear feedback is critical.
How It Works
MagnetoPot™ is constructed from durable materials such as polyester, fiberglass, or Kapton, depending on the application. A Neodymium magnet (grade N42SH) acts as the tracking component.
As the magnet moves along the length of the sensor (externally), its position is read by the MagnetoPot™’s internal structure and translated into a linear analog voltage. This output is highly dependent on:
-
Magnet strength
-
Distance between magnet and sensor
-
Mounting surface (should be non-ferromagnetic)
Note: Do not install the MagnetoPot™ directly onto ferromagnetic materials.
Electrical Characteristics
-
Resistance Tolerance: ±20%
-
Linearity Tolerance: ±5%
-
Resolution: Depends on magnet strength and proximity
-
Output: Continuous analog signal like a standard potentiometer
