It's probably a dynamic force as the gear rotates. Had we suspended the sensor in a flexible potting compound like RTV, we were worried about the effects of the induced vibration.

If we succeed, we succeed as a team
if we fail, we fail as a team

and celebrate our accomplishments, whatever they are
and try to learn from our mistakes. - KenWittlief [more]
