	Hey all, I was wondering if you could help me... I have a .5" shaft running through 2 bearings and was wondering if there was a part that would 'click' every time it was in some position. For instance i believe it sould look like a bearing and have 36 'clicking' positions. Any Ideas?

	Is there something better... I was looking for something that would divide rotation... like a ratchet and pawl... I have concerns about he curved profile... is there something similar but without the curved profile on the teeth?

	its very easy to do. just use a pulse encoder with 36ppr(pulse/rotation).the encoder will be coupled directly or if there are diffrencess so use the mech formula for the pullies,and you can get your expeted resulets. i hope it will help you. sohail __________________ love4everyone

	Do you want this to run at high rpm? If not, I'd suggest a simple 36 tooth gear wheel & a small spring-loaded 'ball catch'. Be a bit inventive! __________________ "Love justice, you who rule the world" - Dante Alighieri

	OK, think back, back, no, way back. You're ten years old and you want your bicycle wheel to make a sound many times per rotation. So, you used a clothes pin to fasten a playing card to hit the spokes. Do the same thing with a gear and a piece of stiff celluloid. __________________ "Well, I've wrestled with reality for 35 years, Doctor, and I'm happy to state I finally won out over it." Elwood P.

	You could use a micro switch the shaft could have small bumps or mini cams attached that would trigger the specific switch . The switch when activated could signal a light or audible devise to display location . __________________ Lighten up
