MagnetoPot Linear Potentiometer 50mm - Male Pins

This 50mm MagnetoPot provides potentiometric position feedback without needing a traditional external wiper or actuator. An outside magnet guides the built-in magnetic element, allowing the sensor to report position through a linear potentiometer output.

The sealed membrane-style construction makes it useful where contactless sensing is preferred, such as tracking the travel of a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder. Unlike a reed switch that only reports open or closed, the MagnetoPot can indicate position across its travel.

For liquid level applications, it can be mounted on the outside of a tank and used with a magnet inside a float, keeping the sensing element outside the liquid. This version is supplied with male pins, and a datasheet is provided for integration details.

Specifications:

• Resistance - Standard: 10k Ohms (lengths >300mm = 20k Ohms)
• Resistance - Custom: 5k to 500k Ohms
• Resistance Tolerance: ±20%
• Effective Electrical Travel: 8 to 1200mm
• Resolution: Depends on the exterior magnet strength and distance to the MagnetoPot
• Power Rating: 0.50 Watt continuous, 1 Watt Peak
• Dielectric Value: No affect @ 500VAC for 1 minute
• Independent Linearity: ±5% (±1% available)
• Hysteresis: 3mm*
