istec SpeedSys is a family of speed monitors and overspeed detection systems for rotating machinery such as turbines, compressors and pumps. It ranges from compact one- to three-channel tachometers (T10, T11, T20, T30) to SIL-rated overspeed detection systems (SpeedSys 200 and the SIL 3-rated SpeedSys 300). Akan Industrial and Automation supplies istec SpeedSys products in Türkiye and supports their integration into machine control and protection systems.
Why monitor speed on rotating machinery?
Rotating machinery is among the most critical equipment in a plant. Speed monitors convert signals from speed sensors into processed outputs for control and alarms, while overspeed detection systems trip the machine before it reaches a destructive speed. Together they increase both availability and protection.
SpeedSys tachometer series
| Model | Channels | Key characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| SpeedSys T10 | 1 | Speed monitor and switch; small footprint for low-impact installation |
| SpeedSys T11 | 1 | As T10, with display |
| SpeedSys T20 | 2 | Speed monitoring and protection functions |
| SpeedSys T30 | 3 | Monitoring and protection; DIN-rail mounted |
Overspeed detection systems
| Model | Rating | Key characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| SpeedSys 200 | SIL-rated | Core protection layer with a compact architecture and low-impact installation |
| SpeedSys 300 | SIL 3 | Compact architecture; enables low-impact retrofits and extends the range of protectable machinery |
Testing and verification: istec Simulator 400
The Simulator 400 is a simulation and calibration system that verifies the logic and protection functions of vibration and overspeed protection systems. It generates three signals at once, so systems with voting structures up to 2oo3 can be tested.
Why choose Akan for machine protection?
Akan supports selection, panel integration and connection to your DCS or turbine control system as part of our instrumentation and controls services. See also vibration monitoring and bearing temperature sensors.
