3 Magnetic Implementation

The magnetic implementation corresponds to the type of magnet, the path of motion, and the orientation of the magnet and sensor relative to each other. Figure 3-1 shows two of many possibilities that can be used. In the first example a cylindrical magnet rotates at the hinge of the trigger, while in the second example a block magnet or cylindrical magnet moves in an arc some radius from the hinge. Due to typical magnet sizes and spatial constraints, the second magnetic implementation is pursued.
