We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Tachometer",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Instrument suite monitors noise and vibration from
National Instruments, which we summarised at the time by saying "Measuring and analysing human vibration signals can help control the negative effects of mechanical vibration on the human body".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Speed control is made for 12V DC fans from
Control Resources: "Compact controller can monitor tachometer pulses from up to four fans with a maximum current rating of 5A at 55C or less".
In April 2007, we covered the news from IPC Systems
concerning its 600 series DSA
- take a look at Dynamic signal analysers come in USB or Ethernet
which says: "IPC Systems' DSA hardware provides signal conditioning and data acquisition, while the eZ-series PC-based software provides monitoring and analysis functions".
Take a look also at the news release from Galil Motion Control, Company ships half a million motion controllers,
as well as Beltweigher controller handles demanding tasks from Procon Engineering,
and Servo amp runs in torque or velocity mode from Servo Dynamics.
