Tachometers

Do you need to measure the rpm of rotating objects or record the length and speed of conveyor belts and rotors? The testo 470 RPM measuring instrument is a compact tool that makes it possible to carry out these measurements.

Multiple functions in one digital tachometer

In the case of optical rpm measurement, you can use the testo 470 RPM measuring instrument to record how fast a rotating object rotates. Thus, for example, you can check whether motors, shafts and fans are functioning correctly in order to spot any impending defects due to overload at an early stage.

For rpm measurement, simply stick a reflective marker on the measurement object and aim the visible red beam at the reflective marker. The measurement can then start (at a distance of up to 600 mm between digital tachometer and measurement object). The digital tachometer is easy to operate using one hand.

However, the testo 470 RPM measuring instrument not only provides the functions of an optical tachometer, it also functions as a mechanical tachometer: Attach the adapter for the probe tip and measure the rpm mechanically. Attach the wheel to also measure speeds and lengths of rotors/conveyor belts.

With the testo 465 tachometer, you can perform non-contact rpm measurement using just one hand. This makes the tachometer suitable, for example, for measurements on rotating parts such as fans and shafts. To measure the rpm, simply stick a reflective marker on the measurement object, aim the visible red beam at the marker and measure the rpm. The distance between the tachometer and the measurement object can be up to 600 mm.

A particularly practical feature is the option to save min./max. and mean values, as well as the last measured value. The SoftCase included in the scope of delivery is useful for protecting the tachometer. The scope of delivery also includes reflective markers and a transport case.

Pocket-sized testo 460 RPM meter provides you with quick and reliable readings when carrying out checks on fans, crankshafts and motors. And because the checks can be performed while the machines are still running, there’s no need to stop production or shut down machinery.

Carrying out measurements with testo 460 RPM meter

Remove the lightweight meter from the practical belt bag and place the hand strap gently around your wrist to prevent your RPM meter from accidentally falling onto the floor. The compact RPM meter is now ready for use.

Attach the self-adhesive reflective markers,which can be reordered at any time, to the measuring object. The RPM meter transmits an LED measuring spot which marks the center of the measuring area. The measuring spot is now aligned to the reflective marker.

That’s all there is to it! You can now use your testo 460 RPM meter to carry out quick and accurate measurements on the measuring object from any distance between 10 and 40 cm.

The testo 460 also has a hold function that freezes the last reading on the display for added convenience and a backlit display that makes it ideal for use in all lighting conditions. Min/max values can be accessed at the touch of a key.

Replace the protective cap and return the RPM meter to the belt bag where it can be stored safely until you next need it.
