The tachometer features contact-based speed measurement. The measuring range of the contact-based speed measurement on the tachometer is 0.5 to 99,999 RPM. Two rubberized measuring tips, one with an inner and one with an outer cone, are included in the scope of delivery to transmit the speed to the tachometer. When using contact-based measurement on the tachometer, the speed can also be determined in m/min, for example, using the measuring wheel.
In addition to contact measurement, the tachometer can also measure the speed optically. For this purpose, a 1 x 1 cm piece of reflective tape is affixed to the test object. The tachometer can determine the speed through reflection. Additionally, the speed of the tachometer can be determined using the strobe function. With this function, the tachometer emits multiple flashes in succession. To quickly adjust the flash frequency of the tachometer, the flash frequency can be doubled or halved. The speed is determined using the strobe function of the tachometer as soon as the test object can be seen continuously and stationary through the flash.In addition to measuring speed and rotational speed, the tachometer can also measure temperature. Any type-K thermocouple can be connected for this purpose. A PT1000 resistance temperature sensor can also be connected if required.
Thanks to its numerous functions, the tachometer can be used in a wide range of applications. For example, the tachometer is used to determine the speed of conveyor belts and the rotational speed of ventilation systems. The tachometer can optionally be equipped with an ISO calibration certificate.
