Title: Proximity Switch Help
Post by: n4rsn on June 23, 2006, 11:28:42 AM
I have a question.  Is the pick-up unit for a speedometer, or a tachometer, just a Proximity Switch????     If it is, is it a magnetic, capacitave, inductive, or what ever else is out there.   I know a Proximity Switch, is a whole lot cheaper than a pick-up unit, with a name on it, from an instrument company.
Thanks
Steve

A magnet and Hall Effect sensor are often used to sense shaft rotation.
