A magneto-resistive tachometer includes an enclosure having a thickness of about 3/4', formed with a central through opening therein and a plurality of bolt holes sized and located for alignment with bolt holes on a standard NEMA C-type motor end face. The enclosure has a recess formed adjacent the central through opening and adapted to receive a sensor electronics package, and a radial slot formed between the central through opening and the recess for receiving a sensing element. An associated sensor drum has a peripheral surface with encoded sensor patterns thereon adapted to be sensed by the sensing element, and a center hub connected to the peripheral surface by a plurality of spokes. The center hub is adapted for clamping engagement with the output shaft of the motor within the center opening of the enclosure, in radially adjacent position relative to the sensing element. At least one of the spokes is provided with shaft clamping means for securing the drum to the output shaft of the motor.

Slim profile digital tachometer including planar block and rotor having

A tachometer assembly for monitoring the rotation of an output shaft for measuring the rotational velocity and position of rotating shafts, and more specifically, to a magneto-resistive tachometer assembly which incorporates a dual purpose cover which, during normal use, fits over the tachometer drum and electronic sensor package to give physical protection to the unit. In a shipping mode, however, the cover is reversed and performs the function of an alignment tool in that a radial gap between the magnetic drum and magneto-resistive sensor may be preset at the factory during assembly of the unit. Reversal of the cover to its normal in use position is done in such a way that the preset radial gap is undisturbed.
