The TKRT 10 is SKF’s new entry level tachometer, enabling fast and accurate contact and non-contact speed measurement of rotating objects and surface speeds.
“This new tachometer uses either laser or contact measurement for determining rotational and linear speed,” says Steve Gething, SKF business development manager reliability systems. “The laser optical system allows easy and quick measurement at a safe distance from rotating machinery. Wide speed range and diverse measurement modes make the TKRT 10 suitable for measuring speed in many applications.”
The TKRT 10 is equipped with a laser and a range of contact adapters. It is a versatile instrument that suits a variety of applications. The laser can be used for safe and quick, non-contact rotational speed measurements at distances up to 0,5 m. The measurement range goes from 20 000 rpm for contact measurements using one of the three adaptors supplied, up to 99 999 rpm in non-contact laser mode.
This compact tachometer is operated with one-hand and has a large backlit LCD display to facilitate easy reading. Up to 10 readings can be stored in the unit’s memory.
