Hello everyone.
I am trying to measure the position of a magnet moving inside a steel tube using a magnetic sensor on the outside. Eddy currents are causing errors due to phase shifts and amplitude changes. Any ideas? Can eddy currents be re-directed using selective copper paths? Since eddy currents are a function of speed, can a derivative function be implemented and used to counter? My gut says there must be a way.
Thanks
