Tachometer Transducers

AI-TEK tachometer transducers are self-generating units when used with speed sensors. They are designed primarily to provide an easy means of attaching a pulse generating assembly to rotating shafts. Sensor gapping, shaft run-out and mounting problems are eliminated. This makes the unit especially useful for shafts with high run-out. The ordering map on the following page provides information for selecting a unit for you particular application. Please note that sensors and cable assemblies must be ordered separately.

Taper-Lock®

The assembly utilizes a Taper-Lock bushing which enables quick attachment to rotating shafts. The transducer employs a rotor with small perforations along its periphery; a permanently lubricated sealed bearing; an outer ring and a reference rod which, when clamped in position, prevents the outer ring assembly from moving. The outer ring can accommodate up to three speed sensors for use in monitoring directions of rotation and speed.

Sleeve Type

The AI-Tek sleeve-type transducer assembly is identical to the Taper-Lock type except that it provides a sleeve bushing with two set screws for installation purposes, allowing larger shaft sizes.
