Paddle Wheel Design with Integrated Housing and Sensing Capabilities A custom paddle wheel design features a central diameter of 13 mm, accommodating one or two 624zz type ball bearings on either side. The bearings are secured in place by two 4mm diameter, 1.5 mm deep holes that house N52 type neodymium magnets for precise hall sensing applications. Four M3 screw holes reinforce the assembly's structural integrity. The paddle wheel design includes an additional enclosure that enables input and output of air or liquids, depending on the specific requirements. Printer accuracy may necessitate minor adjustments through hole filing to ensure smooth bearing movement.
