Tachometer Instruments
A tachometer is a handheld measuring instrument that measures the rotational speed of a rotating shaft, pulley or fan in revolutions per minute (RPM). It is used in the maintenance of motors, gearboxes, fans, pumps and conveyors to compare the actual speed with the nameplate value and to verify belt slip and drive speed settings. This category includes the Unit UT372 optical non-contact tachometer, the UT373 mini optical tachometer and the UT372D, which offers contact and non-contact measurement in one device; the models have a target distance of 50 mm to 200 mm and a speed measurement range of 10 RPM to 99999 RPM. Choose the measuring method (contact, non-contact or both), the speed range, the target distance and the need for USB data transfer according to the machine you will measure. In non-contact measurement, the device is aimed from the specified target distance at reflective tape stuck on the rotating part; in contact measurement, the end of the device is pressed against the end of the rotating shaft. They should not be confused with speed indicators permanently mounted on machines or with the tachograph in commercial vehicles; the products here are portable handheld measuring instruments used during maintenance.
