Robust Device to Detect Shaft Stop

08/16/2012 7:59 AM

We currently have a Proximity sensor to detect shaft stop and start in a harsh environment. The sensor gets damaged very often and we are looking at better and robust ways of determining the shaft stop. Any ideas?

How about the loud bang at the end-of-travel, and a Mk.1 ear 'ole nearby?
