A tachometer is an instrument that measures the working speed of an engine, typically in revolutions per minute (RPM). It is commonly used in cars, boats, planes, and other vehicles. Most tachometer gauges have either an analog (dial) or digital (LCD or LED screen) display.

Digital tachometers are increasingly common on the market due to their reliability. They include fewer moving parts, which increases the life of the component. Analog options are generally more prone to failure, which is further exacerbated by them having moving parts, as the location of a tachometer is usually close to the engine bay where vibrations are the strongest.

KUS manufactures analog and digital tachometer gauges for vehicle and marine applications. Our KMG Touch/Button Gauge is a multifunctional instrument with tachometer functionality. We also manufacture an NMEA Tachometer Gauge compatible with NMEA 2000 systems.

For example, in an automatic transmission vehicle, a tachometer can tell you if the transmission shift points are in range or if the transmission is slipping. In a manual transmission vehicle, you can use a tachometer to determine the optimal time to shift gears (but it is not required).

In addition, tachometers may be contact or non-contact. A contact tachometer touches the rotating part you are measuring and is more precise. A non-contact tachometer uses light from a laser to illuminate a mark on the rotating equipment; this is typical in certain handheld models.

Most manual or automatic transmission cars have a tachometer. While not required, of all the gauges in a boat, a tachometer is one of the more important ones due to its ability to help avoid unnecessary wear and tear and detect engine speed issues before things get worse. Overall, a tachometer is a very useful instrument that can help you maintain optimal engine speed.

KUS manufactures analog and digital tachometers for vehicle and marine applications. What sets us apart from the competition? Our commitment to quality. All of our parts are rigorously tested before we send them out to customers to ensure a very low failure rate. We also use the highest quality materials available. KUS tachometers are a reliable option for your vehicles.
