PCE Instruments / PCE Americas Inc. Tachometer PCE-DSX 100

The tachometer uses the so-called "stroboscope effect" to analyse fast movements, vibrations or periodic processes. With the help of 9 high-intensity LEDs, the tachometer generates short flashes of light with an illuminance of up to 1500 lx. These flashes of light are emitted in synchronisation with the frequency of the movement to be monitored until the object appears to stand still to the observer.

The tachometer is a handy device for measuring the speed of objects with a measuring range of 60 to 20,000 RPM. The tachometer is suitable for inspecting objects with periodic movements and for detecting faults. The tachometer enables precise measurements through fine and coarse adjustment. With the fine adjustment, the speed can be changed in small steps: +0.1 RPM for speeds below 1000 RPM and +1 RPM for speeds above 1000 RPM.The coarse setting allows larger changes: +10 RPM for speeds below 1000 RPM and +100 RPM for speeds above 1000 RPM.
