Speed Monitoring

Reduce downtime, maintenance costs and avoid potential prime mover failures

MSHS Tachometer Kits take the guesswork out of tracking your turbine or engine speed. MSHS self-powered Tachometer Kits provide a safe, reliable means of speed monitoring and data logging of turbine and engine peak speeds. The self-powered tachometers do not require external voltage; only a connection to the speed sensor is needed.

Specified for Woodward TG and PG Turbine Governors, MSHS self-powered Tach Kits are scalable, field-configurable, and easy to install directly on the governor. The tachometers have gear-encased housing and are intrinsically safe – Class I, Div II approved. Avoid potential prime mover failures, reduce downtime, and maintenance costs due to turbine or engine overspeed.
