I may have committed a serious faux pas with the nomenclature. I stated "force in the axial plane"; maybe that should be radial plane? Anyway it's force normal to the rotational axis that is my objective.

If you're refering to the intermediate shaft; it engages the output spline of a transaxle. If you refer to the articulated half shaft; it has a CV joint on both ends. One coupled to the carrier bearing supported end of the intermediate shaft, the other CV coupled to a stub axle which drives a wheel.
I'm designing a carrier bearing support for an automotive intermediate axle shaft. The non articulated intermediate shaft will couple to a Lobro CV joint close to the carrier bearing. I wish to learn the magnitude of force to be considered in the axial plane of the carrier bearing. That is...
This was done experimentally about 25 yrs ago by Lucas. They had invented a high force, high speed solenoid which they called a Helinoid. So called because of the helical shape of the windings inside I believe. The downside was it had a very short stroke; about .004" as I recall. They built a...
Firstly, I never assumed the use of an IR source. Secondly, at the temperatures you suggest, no semiconductor device is likely to operate in close proximity to the toothed wheel.
I can offer a suggestion; the toothed wheel operating as a photo interupter with the use of a glass fibre light pipe...
