Non Contact Photo Tachometer

The Non Contact Photo Tachometer is a digital rotational speed measuring instrument designed to measure the RPM of rotating objects without making physical contact. Using an optical sensing method, the tachometer detects the movement of a rotating surface and provides a digital RPM reading on its LCD display.

This Non-contact RPM meter is suitable for applications where direct contact with rotating machinery may be inconvenient, unsafe, or unsuitable. It can be used for measuring the rotational speed of motors, fans, turbines, machinery, conveyors, wheels, and other rotating components.

With a measurement range of 0 to 100,000 RPM, 0.1 RPM resolution, and ±0.05% of reading accuracy, the Non Contact Photo Tachometer is designed for precision rotational-speed measurement. Its compact and lightweight design also makes it convenient for laboratory, industrial, maintenance, automotive, and field applications.
