Hall Effect for Spindle Speed Feedback

(1/1)

dunnitagain:
    Can a Hall Effect be used as Spindle Speed Feedback ? I have a LARGE ! VMC that has high and low range speed through belts, but had a Hall sensor from the OEM .
For Spindle speed feed back. I have Mach4 , everthing works, but spindle has no reference to Mach4 for accurate RPM.

garyhlucas:
Hall Effect is the method of detection. Typically those sensors have some standard transistor output sinking or sourcing. Industrial stuff usually works over a range of 10 to 30 vdc, while most hobby boards use  5 vdc so that may be an issue, or not.

 Gary , this is an 93 model Fadal , it used 5v for the hall sensors . I'm just not sure how to hook it up to the board for feed back. Or  could I just put a prox in the halls
place and use the same magnet?
