Established in 2002, Magnasphere is a privately-held company dedicated to delivering cutting-edge magnetic contact sensor technology to various security markets, including residential, commercial, industrial, and federal government sectors.
At the heart of Magnasphere Corp. lies the revolutionary Magnasphere switch, a hermetically sealed, two-wire magnetic switching solution. This patented and award-winning technology represents the first significant improvement in magnetic switching in over six decades. By addressing the limitations of traditional reed switches such as fragility, susceptibility to magnetic tampering, and size, the Magnasphere switch offers superior performance and reliability. It retains the advantages of non-contact actuation and sealed contacts while surpassing the capabilities of the Hall Effect switch. Additionally, the Magnasphere switch does not require power and is cost-effective.
One distinctive feature of the Magnasphere switch is its ability to serve as a compact and economical ferrous proximity sensor. By utilizing a spherical magnet as its internal contact, the device can detect the presence or absence of ferrous materials, specifically steel.
Manufactured in compliance with ISO standards within the United States, the Magnasphere family of switch products presents design engineers across industries with innovative solutions that overcome limitations associated with other magnetic switch technologies. With its commitment to excellence and breakthrough advancements, Magnasphere continues to redefine the landscape of magnetic contact sensor technology.
