20 c/s is 50 ms ... 3 cycles are 150 ms ...

electronics works for 80 ms per 3 cycles ...

SO ... if your switch is a good quality / low inertia one... it Works !!!

but, of course ... if it works in oil ... ( gear box ...)

magnetic detector looks to be THE thing ... I think telemecanique also have nice proximity switches that can reach 50 or 100 Hz ... ( I have some home ...)

at least it's no more an electronics problem ...
