Sensor to Detect Shaft Rotation Direction Change Needed
Sensor to Detect Shaft Rotation Direction Change Needed
(OP)
I need a sensor to detect a change of direction in a rotating shaft. When the sensor detects the sudden change in direction it would trigger action of an electromagnet. The sensor would monitor either the shaft or a disk attached. A 12 volt dc power source would be used in the circuity.

Using the basic of encoders, have dozens / hundreds / thousands of pulses per rotation (with the same two-phase approach). More pulses per shaft rotation will speed the reaction time (if required).
