Contact Tachometer
Surface wheels measure contact surface speeds (10 to 9,999 rpm) of rotating objects. The memory button holds last reading and recalls min/max readings display. Complete with wheels for linear surface speed (0.2 to 6560 feet/minute; 0.05 to 1999.9 meters/minute) or RPM measurements.
What's in the Box
Comes with cone tip, flat tip and spare wheel for surface speed measurements, four AA batteries, carrying case, and user manual.
Applications
Motor speed, moving fans, pumps, and gears, propeller devices, and many other general maintenance, production, and automotive uses.
What is a Tachometer?
A tachometer is a device that measures the angular speed of a rotating shaft in terms of revolutions per minute (RPM). Also, a tachometer can measure linear speed in terms of feet per minute (feet/minute) or meters per minute.
How do Contact Tachometers Operate?
The sensor tip is placed in direct contact with the rotating object. After 2 seconds an accurate reading is displayed. Linear surface speed can also be measured by placing the edge of the wheel on the moving object.
