What a tacho generator is and how it works
A tacho generator is a device used to determine the rotational speed of a shaft in an industrial machine or motor. For example, the GTR 9. This type of tachogenerator converts mechanical rotation into electrical power, producing an output voltage proportional to shaft speed. Because the output is voltage proportional to the speed, engineers can measure, monitor and control motor speed in a precise and repeatable way.
Most DC tachogenerators operate on direct current and feature a brush and commutator construction that allows the unit to generate a stable analogue signal. The polarity of the voltage also indicates the direction of rotation, which makes the generator a useful speed-measuring device in drive system instrumentation. As the shaft continues to rotate under load, the tachogenerator will generate a voltage output that increases proportionally. The generator is a device designed to operate reliably even under mechanical stress, offering strong resistance and protection in harsh conditions.
Advantages of Baumer tachogenerators in modern engineering
Baumer tachogenerators and DC tacho generators are used across a wide range of technical and engineering applications. These devices are known for their robust construction, long bearing life and consistent output. They are particularly valuable where digital incremental encoders or absolute encoders cannot guarantee stable performance or where analogue speed output is preferred.
Key benefits include:
- stable analogue speed measurement and output voltage
• reliable operation under mechanical load and vibration
• a technology that remains standard in many drive systems
• the ability to generate electrical power without additional electronics
• excellent protection ratings for industrial machinery environments
• precise voltage proportional behaviour ideal for motor speed monitoring
In many installations, a tachogenerator cannot easily be replaced by a digital encoder because analogue output is required by older equipment or specialist machine tools.
Applications for tacho generators in industrial drive technology
Tachogenerators are widely used in industrial machinery, machine tools and engineering systems that must measure and control rotation. Typical applications include:
- motor speed regulation in AC and DC motors
• speed of rotation monitoring for conveyor machinery
• control of heavy-duty drive systems
• instrumentation for production equipment
• speed feedback for electric and mechanical systems
• rotary equipment where precise measurement and protection are essential
These devices remain a standard solution in many sectors because they produce a clean, analogue signal without the need for additional electronics.
How a tachogenerator produces an output signal
A DC tacho generator works by allowing the shaft to rotate within a magnetic field. As the shaft rotates faster, the device will generate a higher output voltage. This voltage-proportional behaviour makes it simple to read motor speed directly. Engineers use this signal to produce accurate measurement values, adjust drive settings and ensure safe operation.
The analogue output also makes it easier to integrate into older system architectures. Electric motors, machine tools and industrial machinery depend on this form of measurement for stable operation. The electric signal produced remains consistent even when the shaft is under heavy mechanical load.
