Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Tachometer?
+A Tachometer is an apparatus designed to measure the speed of any rotating object, such as a disc or shaft found in a motor.
How does a Tachometer work?
+It works by detecting the number of rotations of a rotating object per minute.
How is calibration done in case of Tachometer?
+Calibration is done using a known reference speed such as a calibrated RPM generator or using a strobe light with a known frequency.
What is the difference between a Tachometer and a Speedometer?
+A Tachometer measures the RPM of a rotating object whereas a Speedometer focuses on linear speed of a vehicle or an object.
Can Tachometer be used on all types of engines?
+It is used in a variety of engines such as gasoline, diesel and electric engines.
Can Tachometer be used on a bicycle or fitness equipment?
+It is used on bicycles, spin bikes and fitness equipment to monitor pedaling speed (RPM).
Can Tachometer measure both low-speed and high-speed rotations?
+It can measure both low and high-speed rotations.
What is the role of Tachometer in industrial automation?
+In industrial automation, it is used for monitoring and controlling the speed of machines, motors, or conveyors.
Can Tachometer be used for turbine engines?
+It is used in turbine engines to measure the rotational speed of the turbine blades.
Can Tachometer be used to test electric motors?
