The ergonomically designed body makes it comfortable and an easy to use device at any location. The tachometer and all accessories are supplied in a highly durable plastic case to keep the device safe while not in use.

• Measures rational speed, RPM, linear speed and distance
• Clear and easy to read LCD display with a memory function
• Direct RPM reading function
• Surface speed units - ft/min or m/min
• Supplied with a selection of accessories and durable carrying case
• Calibration Certificate (supplied with a calibrated versions only)

This tool is just as important in the implementation and day to day operations of machinery and systems as it is for maintenance and would also benefit research and development laboratories. Tachometers are typically used for measuring e.g:

• The speed of rotating equipment such as motors, turbines, fans, wheel, shafts, rollers
• Travelling speed of belts and conveyors
• Length of long products such as wire, fibre, steel, wood, etc.
• The speed of travel and length of sheet products such a films and foils

Is this tachometer supplied with a battery?

No, the tachometer is not supplied with batteries. It requires 4 x AA batteries e.g. 7442199

How does contact tachometer work?

The contact tachometer's integral spinning wheel sensor has to be placed directly on the rotating shaft or disc then tachometer measures pulses and converts them into RPM, linear speed or distance units.
