The FLUKE LED stroboscope 820-2 is more than just a tool for measuring the speed of machines without physical contact. It is also an excellent diagnostic tool for numerous applications:
- Belt-driven machines - fans in heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, pumps
- Ball bearings, shafts, gears or other machine parts
- Clutches and gears
- Foundations - resonance vibrations
- Wear or damage to cables or pipes
- Mixing and dosing processes
The Fluke LED Stroboscope 820-2 can be used instead of a laser tachometer as a stroboscope tachometer for speed measurement. To use the stroboscope, the component to be measured must be visible and provided with a label that can be used as a reference point. A strobe tachometer is a helpful tool because you don't always have access to the machine shaft to stick on reflective tape for using a laser tachometer. And you also can't always make contact with the moving shaft to use a contact tachometer. With a stroboscope you can measure shaft speeds down to 30 fpm (flashes per minute).
Areas of application:
- Variable speed turbines with frequent speed changes
- Motors with frequency converters that run at different speeds, but the speed of which does not change frequently
- Determination of belt speed and belt slip
- Examination of machine components - fan blades, pump blades, compressor screws and gears
- Speed measurement and frequency analysis
- Slip measurement
