Electro-Sensors, Inc. announces the ST420, a loop-powered, stainless steel analog shaft tachometer. The ST420 requires no user calibration, providing a dependable shaft speed monitoring solution right out of the box. The rugged, compact ST420—only 18mm in diameter—reliably detects magnetic pulses from a rotating shaft-mounted pulser disc or wrap. Then, the ST420 uses quartz crystal-based digital processing to convert pulses to a smooth, continuous 4-20mA analog signal directly proportional to the pulse frequency. The result is a plug-and-play solution that allows users to accurately and simply monitor rotating shaft speed in industrial applications.
