Best Answer

Tachogenerators are AC or DC generators that output a voltage in proportion to the rotational speed of a shaft on a rotating electrical machine (electric motor), and thus are used to measure the speed and direction of rotation.

Most commonly found in fractional horsepower (FHP) applications they are often referred to as 'sensors', most electric motor manufacturers offer a tachogenerator on DC commutated (brushed/permanent magnet) motor types.

What is the difference between tachogenerator and tachometer?

A tachogenerator is is an electric generator that generates a voltage that is accurately proportional to the speed of the shaft. Generating a voltage proportional to the speed is an inherent characteristic of all generators, but tachogenerators are specifically designed to provide an accurate signal over a specified range of load currents and operating temperatures. The output signal from a tachometer generator(tachogenerator) is often used to provide feedback to improve the regulation of an electric motor speed control. A tachometer is an instrument that measures and displays rotational speed. An electric tachometer combines the tachogenerator with a voltmeter that has the dial marked to show speed rather than voltage.
