HAND TACHOMETERS


We accept credit cards for a limited number of items on this website that are distributor products, and for sales up to $2,000.00 (limit at our option).  Overseas sales via Electronic Funds Transfers only.

 

We offer a wide range of hand tachometers for measuring rotational and linear speeds, and lengths.  These include mechanical, photoelectric, stroboscopic, contact, non-contact, chronometric, centrifugal, eddy current, vibrating reed, digital and analog types.  If any of the products here don't meet your very specific requirements, give us a call.

Tach-4A Portable Precision Tachometer


The innovative non-contact Tach-4A is the first portable optical instrument to combine a high accuracy, wide range Tachometer, multi-function Totalizer/Counter and a Timer (Stopwatch).

Accuracy: + 0.0001 RPM
Range: 5 to 500,000 RPM
Memory: Maximum, minimum, last measurement

Tach-4AR available with remote sensing capability.  Remote sensors may be optical, infrared, magnetic or laser.  The optional 0-5V TTL compatible Pulse Output (PO) is supplied with a cable for BNC interface to data acquisition equipment.

Tach-4A is menu programmable from a six button membrane keypad. A unique scaling feature allows Tach-4A to function from one or multiple pulses per revolution as a tachometer, ratemeter and totalizer/counter displaying data in engineering units. The optional 0-5V TTL compatible Pulse Output (PO) is supplied with a cable for BNC interface to vibration data collection or other equipment. Tach4A is available with a remote sensing capability. Monarch offers a full line of remote sensors including optical, infrared, magnetic or laser.

N.I.S.T. Traceable Certificate of Calibration included.

PO, PULSE OUTPUT (OPTIONAL):
The Pulse Output is an option for both the TACH-4A and TACH-4AR.  This option includes a 2.5mm phone socket installed on the lens panel of the Tachometer and a six foot cable with mating 2.5mm phone plug to male BNC connector enabling the user to interface with a standard BNC cable.  The Pulse Output is a 0 to 5 Volt TTL compatible output.  Every input pulse gives an output pulse.  Normally, the Tachometer is used with one pulse per revolution, therefore the output would be one pulse per revolution.  If the tachometer is used with more than one pulse per revolution, the output will echo the input, thus providing more than one pulse per revolution.
