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.

 

Extremely Compact – Extremely Robust – Extremely Versatile RHEINTACHO Speed Sensors of the FE Series

Extremely Compact – Extremely Robust – Extremely Versatile RHEINTACHO Speed Sensors of the FE Series

Peter Cisar, Head of Development at RHEINTACHO, is enthusiastic about the FE series: “With the FE series, we offer a speed sensor family that offers a variety of different signal outputs in a compact design – in addition to meeting the highest protection requirements with IP67 and IP6K9K."

There are two different immersion depths,18.4mm and 32mm, available as standard. This offers the possibility to select the optimal sensor for the respective installation conditions.

Another technical detail to increase flexibility is the deliberate avoidance of a connector integrated directly on the sensor body. This reduces the risk that the connector is located at a structurally unfavorable point in the overall system. Another advantage of the cable outlet is the relocation of the connector to a more suitable position, especially with regard to environmental conditions such as moisture, dirt/dust as well as vibration. In particular, vibration should not be underestimated. The space requirement of common connector systems is also disadvantageous in relation to this very compact sensor - an important aspect in restricted installation positions. For optimal protection against the ingress of moisture, connectors molded directly onto the cable or molded on the back are used.

Today, RHEINTACHO offers the FE series with these different output signals: 1-channel (for speed detection), 2-channel (for detection of speed and direction of rotation) and a pulse-width modulated current signal (also speed and direction, as well as diagnostic options).

The advantages of the RHEINTACHO FE concept are obvious: A sensor series which is specified and approved for an application. The mechanical interfaces are identical, regardless of which signal you or your users choose. With the RHEINTACHO FE series, you choose the right speed sensor precisely for the requirements of the application.
