Re: Capabilities of a Hall-Effect sensor

I'm not exactly sure how much magnetic interference would be caused by the casing (it is actually aluminum).

The main reason I'm asking is because we have a tip clearance probe, that well...was made ~20 years ago and it's malfunctioning. We are having some rotordynamics issues (i.e., our rotor isn't balanced). The worst thing that can happen is a blade rubs against the casing.
