Robinair TIF785 Phototachometer

The SPX Industrial TIF785 portable contact/noncontact tachometer measures rotational, linear, and surface speed, has a laser beam for noncontact measurements, and stores test results. This contact/noncontact portable tachometer is used for measuring the speed of motors, conveyor belts, and other moving and rotational systems. It measures rotational, linear, and surface speed for flexibility of use. Its optical sensor is a laser beam that works at a distance up to 40 inches/100cm for user safety. It stores the maximum, minimum, and average test results for ease of data recall, and it automatically shuts off after 30 seconds of inactivity to help preserve battery life. It is autoranging, to display the most appropriate test result value automatically; or it can be set to display results with a fixed decimal value. It comes with a contact adapter, a cone adapter, a funnel adapter, a surface speed wheel, reflective tape, and a 9V battery. This tachometer is suitable for measuring rotational speed and other measurements in mechanical or industrial engineering environments.

Specifications

H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.

Tachometers measure the rate of rotation or surface speed of motors, conveyor belts, and other moving systems. Contact tachometers take measurements through direct contact with the moving surface, and can measure both rpm and surface speed. Typically, contact tachometers come with a range of attachments that can be used to measure speed on different kinds of rotary systems, which may include tips used for measuring shafts with a central hole or flat end surfaces, and rotary wheels for measuring conveyor belts. Noncontact tachometers take measurements from a distance using a beam of infrared light, and provide highly accurate measurements. Contact tachometers are an excellent choice for dirty and dusty environments; noncontact tachometers only calculate rpm but are considered safer because they do not require the operator to be in close contact with the moving surface. Contact/noncontact tachometers, also known as dual, or combination tachometers, can be used to take contact and noncontact measurements. Some tachometers can also take other types of measurements, such as count or frequency, while others can output data to a computer for analysis. Tachometers are used in applications such as automobile maintenance, mechanical engineering, and maintenance of industrial equipment.
