Low Ripple DC Tachometers

mbarnes — Fri, 24 May 2013 18:58:24 +0000

Servo-Tek Tach Generators provide a convenient means of converting rotational speed into an isolated analog voltage signal suitable for remote indication and control applications. Combining high accuracy with low driving torque, Servo-Tek tach generators are ideal for use in servo systems. Tach Generators are particularly suited to application in precision integrators and velocity servos, both of which require highly linear speed/voltage relationships with minimum ripple.
