Shop tachometers and stroboscopes for measuring rotational speed, RPM, surface speed and motion in motors, machinery, fans, shafts, conveyors and other rotating equipment.
Available instruments include contact tachometers, non-contact photo and laser tachometers, combination models, panel-mount tachometers and stroboscopes for industrial maintenance and equipment diagnostics.
Contact tachometers measure rotational or surface speed through physical contact with a rotating shaft or moving surface. Photo and laser tachometers provide non-contact RPM measurements using reflective targets or optical sensing.
Stroboscopes use an adjustable flashing light to make repetitive motion appear stationary, allowing technicians to determine speed and visually inspect rotating or reciprocating equipment while it is operating.
Important selection factors include RPM range, contact or non-contact measurement, working distance, accuracy, surface-speed capability, memory or logging requirements and whether stroboscopic inspection is needed.
