Title: cheap sources for reliable threaded hall sensors
Post by: TTC on June 26, 2012, 09:27:43 PM

I am ditching my megasquirt and popping for  some sort of other standalone. Possibly a haltech, vipec or link and i want to ditch the ford VR sensor on the crank.

I plan to use a 36-1 toothed crank with a hall sensor and a single magnet hall config on the cam gear for the home signal.  Should I just hit up digikey and pick any hall sensor i want? Do certain hall sensors only read magnets and others teeth? I did some reading but havent found anything to straight forward. 

Thinkng something like these.

Apparently the hamlin needs a pullup, I duno if that applies no not MS units. Also looks like the hamlin doesnt work for high rpms on a 36-1 wheel.


Word.

Hall sensors are like 2 dollars. Can you not put them in some sort of threaded tube and epoxy the ends?

drill out a bolt or something like your anal plug and secure the sensor with abit JBweld or loctite

much cheaper and faster since you can steal everything at the local junkyard :mexi:
