The inventor is assumed to be the German engineer Dietrich Uhlhorn; he used it for measuring the speed of machines in 1817.
Tachogenerators are AC or DC generators that output a voltage in proportion to the rotational speed of a shaft on a rotating electrical machine (electric motor), and thus are used to measure the speed and direction of rotation.Most commonly found in fractional horsepower (FHP) applications they are often referred to as 'sensors', most electric motor manufacturers offer a tachogenerator on DC commutated (brushed/permanent magnet) motor types.
