At its core, a tachogenerator is an electromechanical device that measures the rotational speed of a shaft. It acts as a small generator, converting mechanical energy (rotation) directly into a proportional electrical signal (voltage).

Unlike digital encoders that count pulses over time to calculate speed, a tachogenerator provides an immediate, continuous analog voltage that tells your control system exactly how fast a motor or machine line is spinning.
