Abstract
A device for measuring the angular velocity of a rotating object (35) is described, which device comprises a first disc (23) moving with the object and having a rotationally symmetrical pattern of interruptions (24), and a second disc (29) having a similar pattern and a detector (34) which receives radiation passed by the patterns and converts it into an electric measuring signal. The device is very accurate, reliable and compact. The linear velocity of an elongated object, for example a recording tape, can also be measured with the device.
