Interference Between Two DC Motor Magnetic Encoders?

I am planning to have two DC motors with magnetic CPR encoders mounted “back-to-back” (so that the encoder cases are almost touching). Would I expect any interference between the two encoders?

Thanks

Hi @Atomic_Penguin

Theoretically, it is possible that there could be some interference.

I think it depends on how close these are, and where are the magnets inside and how strong is their field.

I guess until you test it in reality, you cannot know for sure.

Thank you.
