INDUSTRIAL NEWS We are now the sole distributers of Disatac (www.disatac.com) in Australasia since January 2006. Disatac Tachometers - rotational speed in all types of high-speed turbochargers DISATAC is a series of rugged, non-contact electronic tachometers that monitor rotational speed in all types of high-speed turbochargers and other kinds of rotating machinery. Only high-quality materials are used in the manufacture of DISATAC tachometers to ensure optimal, reliable and long-lasting performance in harsh working environments. Except in  72H01 systems, the measurement principle is based on a magnet mounted on a rotating part inducing an alternating voltage in a DISATAC pickup placed a specific distance from the magnet (or, in 72H01 systems, another rotating part). As the equipment requires no mechanical connection to the rotating machine elements, there is no mechanical wear. The DISATAC electronic units convert the induced pickup voltage to an analogue output current proportional to the rotational speed. The electronic units can have built-in pointer instruments (meters). The alternative is an interface to an external meter, recorder, data-logger or equivalent. Meters indicating rotational speed can be placed several hundred metres  from the pickup, e.g. on the bridge of a large vessel. All pickups and magnets are compatible with the specifications of major international turbocharger manufacturers. DISATAC meets the ship-classification societies’ requirements for quality, reliability and safety and is therefore specified as standard by most manufacturers of large diesel engines and turbochargers in the marine and off-shore industries.   About Dantec Dynamics Dantec Dynamics’ history began in 1947, with the establishment of Dansk Industri Syndikat A/S (DISA). Today, Dantec Dynamics A/S is the world’s leading specialist in the development and manufacture of instruments and systems for the measurement of rotation, flow, velocity and particle size. Leading industrial companies, universities and research institutions all over the world use Dantec equipment in a wide range of applications in fields such as process control, fluid  mechanics, environmental protection and civil engineering. Depending on the application, the benefits from using Dantec equipment include improvements in process efficiency, the stability of structures, aerodynamic and hydrodynamic design and reductions in noise and vibration. Dantec is based in Denmark and has subsidiaries in the USA, the UK, the Netherlands, France and Germany as well as representatives in close to 50 other countries. Click here to link to Dantec
