Testo 470 Dual Non-Contact Tachometer
The Testo 470 Dual Non-Contact Tachometer stands out as a versatile and innovative instrument, offering both optical and mechanical RPM measurement options. This dual-functionality ensures it can adapt to a variety of measurement scenarios, providing flexibility and accuracy.
In its optical measurement mode, the process begins by placing reflectors on the target object. Following this, the 470 emits a modulated red light beam that is both clearly visible and precisely targeted at the reflector. This method allows for accurate, non-contact RPM measurements from a safe distance, ideal for monitoring rotating machinery or equipment.
Transitioning to mechanical measurements is straightforward. Simply attach the provided adapter to the tachometer, and then select either a cone or running wheel to connect. This setup enables direct contact measurements, offering an alternative method that is both reliable and easy to use.
With these two measurement techniques, the Testo 470 becomes an indispensable tool for a wide range of applications, from industrial maintenance to engineering research. Its ability to seamlessly switch between optical and mechanical modes makes it a highly adaptable and valuable instrument for professionals who require precise and versatile RPM measurement capabilities.
