MEASUREMENT & MONITORING

RHEINTACHO UK
Rheintacho UK celebrating 100 years of existence in Leeds
In 1919 Rheintacho UK was founded in
Leeds. Is was founded as Foundrometers
Ltd and after a turbulent century of
takeovers, sales, mergers, spin-offs,
management buy-outs and name changes,
Rheintacho UK Ltd, as it is now called is
more successful than ever in an everchanging
market.
Rheintacho UK is not only the specialist in
the Rheintacho Group for all mechanical
and electrical instruments and many
devices, but also is the competence
center for intrinsically safe applications
and devices (ATEX certification). Since
2015, Rheintacho has had a handheld
mechanical tachometer called HTM
which is ATEX certified. Last year, we
added the complete family of eddycurrent
tachometers and corresponding
gearboxes and we are now working on
a device which presently is not available
anywhere in the world, something printers
and paper/pulp manufacturers have been
waiting for.
In addition to its own manufacturing unit
in Micklefield, Leeds, Rheintacho UK also
trades the products of the Rheintacho
group. This includes a huge portfolio of
speed sensors, second to none in the
world of rotational speed monitoring,
measuring and control. And the newest
generation does even more than measure
speed. They also detect direction
and position, opening a new world of
possible applications to customers. The
newest addition to the sensor family also
integrates temperature measurement into
a very small sensor offering not only a
space saving solution but also offers less
intrusion into a gearbox, for example.
GROWTH CONTINUES INTO 2020

After 2 strong years in 2017 and even
double-digit growth in 2018, 2019 was a
difficult year with all the Brexit uncertainty
and we were able to keep our sales
stable. So far, 2020 has started with a
bang despite the uncertainty in connection
with a possible “no-trade-deal” scenario.
Rheintacho UK is confident that this
growth will continue in the future.
