Handheld Tachometer
The handheld tachometer is a means of measuring revolutions within the industrial sector, either optically or mechanically. The handheld tachometer can be used for maintenance and calibration of machines that have moving parts. The principle is similar to a bicycle speedometer, where time will be measured until a wheel has completely turned.The handheld tachometer has two different measurement methods.
The handheld tachometer may have a contact connection to the moving parts. Alternatively, the handheld tachometer works with reflecting marks. This will be secured on the moving part. As the laser strikes the reflecting mark during rotation, it will be reflected and detected in the handheld tachometer via a sensor. Rotation speed and speed can be seen on the handheld tachometer. The handheld tachometer may combine both possibilities (contact and non-contact connection). Next to the handheld tachometer you find other devices for measuring revolutions at PCE Instruments.
The tachometer PAX l for example can be installed permanently at one location. This unit has a digital display with digital and analog output and a variety of optional plug-in cards. In addition it can be combined with several optical sensors, laser sensors or mechanical measuring wheels. For companies that want to include a handheld tachometer to their in-house test equipment pool, an ISO calibration is recommended. The ISO certification includes a calibration and the test certificate. A calibration guarantees a good reproducibility of the determined readings using the hand tachometer.
