RHEINTACHO UK LTD
RHEINTACHO INSTRUMENTS AND TACHOMETERS
Rheintacho UK Ltd, a subsidiary of German
Rheintacho Messtechnik GmbH, is located in
Leeds and has over 300 years of combined
history and experience coming from its time as
Foundrometers Instrumentation, through the
acquisition of Harding of Leeds and due to its
close relationship to Germany and its products.
Rheintacho UK is now the competence
center in the companies group responsible
for intrinsically safe applications and
is continuously expanding its product
portfolio for offerings to companies
working in hazardous environments which
need tachometers and stroboscopes for
measurement, monitoring and control of speed
and linear movement in operations and in
maintenance of equipment.
In production environments, the mechanical
and electrical tachometers, such as eddy
current tachometers provide reliable and easy
display of speed and associated properties.
These tachometers are always calibrated to suit
our customers applications.
Our handheld mechanical tachometers which
require no batteries, are most suitable in
maintenance operations by inspectors, service
engineers and inspectors. They are often used
in elevator, pump, motor and other areas where
a reliable, portable and easy-to-use tachometer
can facilitate maintenance. They are offered in
both imperial and metric versions for speeds
up to 50,000 rpm.
Our eddy current tachometers which are very
often also used as flowmeters, are connected to
a moving component by a drive coupling. The
movement is then transferred to the dial which
can be specified to any application. We are also
in the process of certifying the complete line of
eddy current tachometers with and without a
gearbox for intrinsically safe applications.
We also offer a wide range of tacho generators
for the accurate measurement of rotational
speed of motors and engines. The signal which
comes from the shaft to which the tacho
generator is connected is transferred to a
Rheintacho indicator. There is a wide range of
alternatives depending on the voltage, current
or pulse output.
Typical applications are for the measurement
of rotational speed of ship engines, turbines,
rotors, rollers or conveyor belts. They need
no external power supply which makes them
attractive especially when on-board supply fails
completely. The tacho generator continues to
provide accurate readings.
