Rotor must always be fixed securely. Since some plastic tubes and microtest plates can be damaged at higher speeds, maximum speed is limited for some rotors.

para introducir las lecturas del taquímetro de control

My comment:

El término "taquímetro" me parece más científico que "tacómetro", vea las referencias más abajo.

---
= "para introducir las lecturas del taquímetro (o: tacómetro) de control" (o: de mando?...(probablemente no, vea más abajo))

My references:

1. reading : "4. (on thermometer, ***instrument) lectura*** f

to give a true/false reading [instrument]: marcar bien/mal

readings of more than 40°C are common: es normal que los termómetros marquen más de 40°C

***to take a reading of sth: hacer una lectura de algo***, leer algo"

2. enter: "8. (Comput) [+ data] introducir"

3. (Collins) "tachometer [tæˈkɒmɪtər] N taquímetro m"

o:

(WodReference) "tachometer n (device for measuring speed) tacómetro nm"

and IATE (database of the European Institutions):

"tachometer : taquímetro

4. the control : el control

https://www.wordreference.com/es/translation.asp?tranword=control

pero, a veces, puede ser "mando", depende del instrumento (que yo no conosco):

Definition of "control" in English:

"verb: 1. to regulate, govern, or command;
manage"

https://www.wordreference.com/definition/control

=> sometimes, in Spanish:

"mando SM
1 (=poder) command"

https://www.wordreference.com/es/en/translation.asp?spen=mando

as in:

"tachometers, indicators and control elements" : "tacómetros, indicadores y elementos de mando"

"control boxes : cajas de mando"

at https://glosbe.com/en/es/control%20tachometer

but here the tachometer most probably just measures, thus allowing to verify, and does not operate anything else.
