ROTECH
Manufacturers of Shaft Encoders, Speed Relays and Vibration Sensors
Founded in 1983, Rotech Systems has become a global leader in providing high-quality, reliable equipment for monitoring and measuring the speed, position, and direction of rotating shafts. Specializing in motion sensors and encoders, Rotech has built an unparalleled reputation for durability and performance, making it a trusted name in industries such as food processing, mining, steel, and power generation.
Heavy-duty construction for harsh environments
Rotech products are engineered to withstand even the harshest industrial conditions. Whether it’ s a quarry, mine, or power plant, Rotech’ s equipment is designed for longlasting, maintenance-free operation. Their products offer heavy-duty construction, ensuring reliability in environments prone to mechanical wear and tear. The sensors are quick and easy to install, making them a hassle-free solution for businesses looking to protect their machinery from potential damage.
Preventing costly downtime and damage
In industries where material handling is crucial, such as bulk processing, even a small disruption can lead to significant costs. A minor slowdown or stoppage of equipment like conveyors, crushers, or mixers can result in product spillage, mechanical failure, and costly downtime. In some cases, these disruptions may also contaminate products, leading to production losses or quality issues. Rotech’ s motion sensors help prevent these issues by providing early

detection of problems like conveyor belt slip or mechanical failures. By triggering visual or audible alarms and even shutting down machinery when necessary, Rotech ensures that operators can take swift action to avoid costly damage.
Wide range of applications
Rotech motion sensors are used across various industries, including food, textiles, glass, grain, power generation, and chemicals. In these settings, the equipment plays a vital role in protecting conveyors, elevators, screws, crushers, and mixers. The sensors continuously monitor the speed of the equipment, providing alerts when the speed drops by as little as 5 %, a feature that can be adjusted between 5 % and 90 %. This level of sensitivity helps safeguard equipment and ensures smooth production operations.
Simple installation and reliable performance
Installation of Rotech systems is straightforward, requiring just a single hole to be drilled into the shaft or conveyor. This quick setup eliminates the need for complicated designs or adjustments, making it easy for businesses to standardize their equipment across various machines. With no target discs, sensor brackets, or guards to install, Rotech’ s system simplifies the process and reduces maintenance time.
Rotech systems are also known for their accuracy, with pulse rates ranging from 1 pulse per revolution to 1000 pulses per revolution. The units are digital pulse generators, ensuring precise monitoring even at low speeds( as slow as 0.03 RPM).
A cost-effective solution
While Rotech sensors are built to last, their cost-effectiveness makes them an attractive option for businesses. With competitive pricing and a focus on long-term reliability, Rotech delivers a solution that minimizes maintenance costs while maximizing uptime and operational efficiency.
In conclusion, Rotech Systems offers reliable, durable, and cost-effective monitoring equipment that helps industries prevent downtime, reduce maintenance costs, and improve overall productivity. Their products ensure that critical machinery operates smoothly, even in the most challenging environments.
