A tachometer is an instrument which is used to measure the revolution speed of any rotating object such as a shaft or motor. It has it uses in the marine engineering field as well and is used to gauge speed of marine diesel engines on board ships and whether they are rotating in the ahead or astern direction. In this article you will learn about the working principle of a tachometer

How does a mechanical tachometer work?

it is a device that converts mechanical into electric measurements. it measures velocity. there are many types: electrical, mechanical, thermo-electrical... for example the mechanical tachometer converts the rotation motion into translation motion with the help of an axis so you can read it on the scale of the tachometer. sorry for not being so good at explaining this. hope somebody will be more documented.

How is mechanical tachometer used for measuring angular velocity?

A mechanical tachometer typically uses a rotating shaft connected to the moving object to measure its angular velocity. As the object rotates, the shaft spins and moves the pointer on the tachometer dial, displaying the angular velocity in revolutions per minute (RPM). The speed of rotation is directly proportional to the angular velocity of the object being measured.
