Optical transducers observe a piece of reflective tape attached to the shaft. The coincidence of the reflective tape and the
optical transducer produces a pulse signal. The following illustration shows an optical transducer working as a tachometer to
generate pulses.
Optical transducers are well-suited for machines that cannot tolerate drilled holes or milled slots in the exposed shaft surface.
Optical transducers also are appropriate for detecting pulses from high-speed machines.
An encoder is another common tachometer transducer. An encoder usually generates multiple, even several hundred or more,
pulses per revolution. Thus, encoders can generate more accurate speed results for low rotational speed measurements that
are slower than 100 RPM.
