Re: Capabilities of a Hall-Effect sensor
Well, the application would be to judge tip clearance on a turbine in an aircraft. I'm not exactly sure of the capabilities of a hall-effect sensor, especially at these high frequencies. Blades will pass at around 336 kHz. A voltage relation between distance is what I will need. I'm not counting them, we already know how many will pass by since we are measuring RPM with a quadrature encoder on the shaft.
