Abstract: A differential pressure indicator includes a multi-polar driving magnets train clamped on a piston pin that moves in response to the changes in pressure conditions, thereby driving a multi-polar follower magnet carrying an indicating member, to move across a scale for a total angular range of 90° to 270°. The exact angular displacement of the follower magnet per unit linear displacement of the driving magnets train is decided by varying the relative magnetic strengths of the driving and follower magnets or by varying the spacing between adjacent magnets of the driving magnetic train. Further, magnetic flux of an auxiliary magnet fitted on the piston pin at a 90° orientation relative to the driving magnet train is utilized for actuating a magnetic switch in the switch assembly.
