A tachogenerator is is an electric generator that generates a voltage that is accurately proportional to the speed of the shaft. Generating a voltage proportional to the speed is an inherent characteristic of all generators, but tachogenerators are specifically designed to provide an accurate signal over a specified range of load currents and operating temperatures. The output signal from a tachometer generator(tachogenerator) is often used to provide feedback to improve the regulation of an electric motor speed control.
A tachometer is an instrument that measures and displays rotational speed. An electric tachometer combines the tachogenerator with a voltmeter that has the dial marked to show speed rather than voltage.

Who invented the the tachometer?
The inventor is unknown for a tachometer. However, the first documented use of a tachometer device was by the German engineer Dietrich Uhlhorn in 1817. He is credited with its first use, but not necessary as being its inventor.
What are some sentences that contain the word tachometer?
It also has an internal tachometer for calculation of speed over a given distance.
What is a device for measuring speed of rotation?
tachometer.
What is the difference between clucth and coupling?
difference between clucth and coupling
What is the difference between a socket and a coupling?
difference between coupling and socket
What is the difference between theodolite and tachometer?
A theodolite is a survey instrument. A tachometer tells you how many Revs per minute an engine is turning.
What is the difference between an auto-meter and a tachometer?
A tachometer and an auto-meter is an instrument measuring the rotation speed of a car or a motor. An auto-meter is more accurate and reliable than a tachometer.
What is tachogenerator?
TACHOGENERATOR IS USED TO CONVERT MECHANICAL ENERGY INTO ELECTRICAL ENERGY OR MORE SIMPLY CONVERT REVOLUTION OF THE SHAFT OF A GENERATOR TO A ANALOG VOLTAGE
Why does a Vauxhall Cavalier tachometer show the wrong reading and get stuck sometimes?
A tachometer that shows the wrong reading and get stuck sometimes could be caused by faulty wiring between the transmission and tachometer. It could be caused by a defective instrument cluster.
What is a tachogenerator in control system?
a device to measure rotation speed of a shaft as a proportional voltage
How do you determine if a 97 Kia Sephia is RS LS or GS?
The easiest way I come up with is a little strange but there are very few differences between them. If it has a tachometer and a radio antenna then it a LS. If it has a tachometer and no antenna then its a GS. If it doesn't have a tachometer then it is a RS.
How do you install a tachometer on a 1991 mercury cougar?
Remove the instrument panel cover. Remove the tachometer retaining screws. Remove the tachometer cable from the back of the tachometer. Reverse the process to install the new tachometer.
What is name of motor having 3phase winding single phase winding with permanent magnet and a tachogenerator?
Its a servo.
How do you measure the RPM of motor shaft?
you need a tachometer
Who invented tachogenerator?
The inventor is assumed to be the German engineer Dietrich Uhlhorn; he used it for measuring the speed of machines in 1817.
What is a difference between encoder and tachometer?
An encoder is a device, circuit, transducer, software program or person that converts information from one format or code to another. A tachometer is an instrument that measures the rotation speed of a shaft or disk, as in a motor or other machine. Most commonly this is the little rev counter on your car/truck that shows you the rate of rotation of the engine's crankshaft. Or in layman's terms, the RPM gauge. Hope this helps
Mazda b2500 tach works speedometer does not?
The Mazda tachometer and the speedometer have separate cables. The tachometer cable probably does not work properly. Change the tachometer cable.
