I need to build a sensor that will measure the turns of a shaft.
I was thinking of using a ring magnet or gear tooth system. then reading the rise and fall of the mag field. then converting it into a length, that the wheel on the shaft moves.
Has anyone done this?
It is on a piece of farm equipment; vibration, and dust.
I was thinking something like the picture, incased in plastic or epoxe
Or is there a place to get such a thing?
The shaft is 3/4 dia, maby a hub??

Thanks
