or applications, that
expose the sensor tip to
particularly high pressures,
RHEINTACHO has developed
special speed sensors with a heavyduty design, either with brass or
stainless steel housing. Sensors
that have to be used in machines,
such as orbital motors, must meet
the highest requirements. The high
pressure sensors of the FE series
from RHEINTACHO are particularly
intended for use in hydraulic drives
with high pressures of up to 210 bar
(tested according to ISO 6605:2002).
They comply with protection classes
IP6K9K and IP67, operate over a wide
frequency range from 0.1 to 20,000 Hz
and guarantee high EMC stability.
RHEINTACHO Messtechnik GmbH is a
company with longstanding tradition
and has been engaged for over 114
years in the field of rotational speed, a
crucial control quantity for mechanical
processes. Just over 70 employees

work at the company’s headquarters in
Freiburg, Germany. In-house product
development, production and assembly
departments guarantee quick and
innovative solutions to customers’
individual requirements.
RHEINTACHO is specialized in
developing and manufacturing sensors
for the harshest environments. The
sensors’ resistance to high pressure,
temperature changes, electromagnetic
interference, aggressive media,
water and steam jets is crucial for
their operability and service life.
RHEINTACHO offers a wide range of
standard products for the most varied
applications, with suitable measuring
systems and electronics, as well as
appropriate housings, designs and
connections. In addition to this, the
German company also provides custom
solutions, quickly and inexpensively.
RHEINTACHO UK Ltd (formerly
Foundrometers), has belonged to
the RHEINTACHO Group since 2000
and is engaged in the customization,
manufacture and assembly of
mechanical and electrical instruments
for measuring and controlling rotational
speed. A further specialty is the repair
and refurbishing services for nearly
any instrument in this field regardless
of age or manufacturer. And as far as
trading is concerned, all RHEINTACHO
Group products are also available
through RHEINTACHO UK.
Further products from RHEINTACHO
are:
• Digital hand-tachometers rotaro and
redpoint as well as ATEX certified
mechanical hand-tachometers htm
that record rotational speeds and run
lengths
• Portable and stationary stroboscopes
with LED or XENON technology that
are instruments for the visualization
of very fast movements
• Speed monitor systems such as the
programmable rotas that measures
the motion of engines, machines and
systems
• Electrical indicators that visualize
process factors such as rotational
speed, velocity, flow, positions and
filling levels
Typical applications of RHEINTACHO
products
are:
• Mobile hydraulics
• Large engines
• Wind power
• Material handling
• Electric drives
• Service & Commissioning
Our aim is to meet our customers’
every need by consistently producing
the best possible rotational speed
measurement product at a competitive
price. Since this also means providing
an excellent all-round service we place
great emphasis on optimizing levels of
cooperation, reliability and continuity.
