Rheintacho UK Ltd

We have been developing and manufacturing a wide range of measurement instruments since 1920, always with an emphasis on quality, durability and service. As our products remain in use throughout the world we continue to support our customers with spares, repairs and replacements and reengineered products.
In 2001 we joined with Rheintacho GmbH to create one of the largest rotational speed measurement manufacturers in the world. Rheintacho brings over 100 years of additional expertise, especially in the field of non-contact rotational speed sensors and stroboscopes.
As a consequence, our expanded range now covers a wide selection of products for the measurement, indication and control of rotational speed together with a range of stroboscopes for quality control and maintenance. 
Our handheld portable range of tachometers and stroboscopes provides the user with the ability to measure speed and distance as well as carrying out maintenance checks by creating a ‘frozen’ image using a strobe. With equipment for use in a range of environments and applications there is a solution for every need. 
Where a fixed solution is required we offer stroboscopes with a range of light sources, widths and trigger configurations to suit individual demands.
Our rotational speed instruments range from mechanical indicators which are directly connected to moving components, to non-contact sensors which generate a signal from the component and transmit this to electronic devices for control and indication. With this range we have the capability to supply effective solutions from stock, or to engineer existing products to meet specific requirements, either as a ‘one-off’ or for a serial production.
Our technical strength is key to remaining at the forefront of our industry, and we work closely with our clients during the product development process to ensure that when we design and develop a product for them it meets the specification and adds value to the finished product. Quality, accuracy and durability are fundamental to our success.
We believe that we can provide a cost-effective solution for your needs, and if there is not currently a standard product, please talk to us and see what we can do for you.

  1. Rotaro T Hand Held Digital Tachometer

    Rotaro T Hand Held Digital Tachometer

    The Rotaro T digital hand-tachometer is a device for measuring rotational speed and velocity, as well as length. The compact device has two measuring methods. One is optical, and therefore non-contacting; the other is mechanical using an adapter and various probes. With the optical method, it focuses a beam of light at a thin sticker attached to the object, which reflects it at the speed of rotation. The result appears immediately on the 5-digit LCD. The distance between the rotaro T digital hand tachometer and the test object can be up to 600 mm. The Rotaro T comes with a special adapter which is used to guide yarn, thread, rope etc.

The distance between the Rotaro Tw digital hand tachometer and the test object can be up to 600 mm. The Rotaro Tw comes with a special adapter to enable the measurement in connection with welding wire and is the perfect fit for typical applications such as calibration, service and maintenance work within the welding and wire industry.

  3. Speed Relays

    Speed Relays
    The Rheintacho rotas programmable rotary speed monitor is a pulse value system - its primary application is to monitor rotary speed and velocity based on period duration measurement. If the upper or lower thresholds are exceeded, it actuates relay outputs according to the set commands. There is also a version with a scalable current output for analogue measured values.
  4. Stationary LED Stroboscopes

    Stationary LED Stroboscopes

    Stroboscopes are versatile instruments for the visualisation of very fast movements. They are important and necessary tools for the inspection and control of machines and manufacturing lines, e.g. in printing or textile industries. Stroboscopes could also be used for the non-contact measuring of rotational speed. If the stroboscope flash frequency matches the frequency of movement, the test object appears stationary. It can be observed and its frequency of movement recorded. Rheintacho offers stroboscopes in different design and technologies. For every single application the right tool for you. The RHEINTACHCO family of LED stationary stroboscopes which encompasses 3 sizes, namely a 3000, 5000 and 7000 LED Strobes, cover a wide variety of web widths and can also be liked together to increase flexibility of use in different specific conditions. A 10000 LED version is also available on request.

  5. Stationary Xenon Stroboscopes

    Stationary Xenon Stroboscopes
    * Exceptional light intensity * High image definition * Homogenous illumination area * For web widths > 300 mm strobes can be connected in parallel * High light-intensity and extremely short flash time, the best technology for perfect sharply defined images High light performance Thanks to the large, homogenous illumination area, you get outstanding results even in unfavourable light conditions. This makes the RT STROBE 3000 ideal for a wide range of measurement, observation and inspection tasks. Especially suitable for difficult tasks, such as applications in the printing industry.
  6. Strobe Control Unit

    Strobe Control Unit
    RT STROBE control is your easy-to-handle control centre for any stroboscope, whether it is from Rheintacho or another manufacturer. Use it to create a trigger signal or to influence a signal generated externally. The multiplicity of control parameters make it easy for you to carry out the inspection or measurement tasks required of you. See a selection of typical cases below
  7. Strobe Ecocontrol

    Strobe Ecocontrol
    The smart solution to adjust the flash frequency of your RT STROBE 3000 or RT STROBE 5000. With the RT STROBE eco control it is also possible, to control multiple, parallel connected RT Strobes.
  8. Tachogenerators

    Tachogenerators
    Rheintacho tacho generators reliably measure the rotational speeds of motors. The rotation is mechanically transferred directly via a shaft to the sender. At the output of the sender there is an electric signal proportional to the rotation. The signal is then normally transferred to a Rheintacho indicator system. The senders are available with a normalized voltage, current or pulse output, which means that the right model can be chosen for a wide range of indicator and control units. Rheintacho also offers custom solutions adapted for the application.
  9. Tachometers

    Tachometers
    Foundrometers manufacture a wide variety of tacho generators and tacho alternators. These produce AC or DC signals which can be used to drive analogue indicators or control devices. Whilst these signalling devices are best suited to Foundrometers indicators and controllers, they can be used to drive any other manufacturer's instruments.
