Re: Magnetic Sensor on Pistons(help)

I believe that there are small magnets on the piston ring and the sensor is a switch that closes when the magnet passes under it and opens when the magnet is not near. As for weight it weight mere ounces and there is no drawback to them at all. You might have a problem with programming if running a program means meeting the condition of the switch being closed if you decide to suddenly remove it, so be careful to check your programming
