Fluke 820-2 LED Stroboscope
Ref: 4550041
£1,229.00 £1,075.38 excl. VAT £1,290.46 inc. VATThe Fluke 820-2 LED Stroboscope can be used for checking the rotational speed of machinery without physical contact.
It is also useful as an excellent diagnostic tool for both investigation and observation of potential mechanism failure in many types of machinery in a vast range of industries and in product / process research & development.
Stroboscopes are simple, easy to use tools to stop motion for measurement and diagnostic purposes. They identify running speed of rotating equipment without stopping the operation.
A stroboscope is used to stop motion for diagnostic purposes:
· Parasitic oscillations, flaws, slippage or unwanted distortions
· Measure speed of rotation or frequency of a rotating shaft, speaker, or mechanical part
· Identify part numbers or other markings
The Fluke 820-2 LED Stroboscope is more than just a tool to measure rotational speed of machinery without physical contact. It is also an excellent diagnostic tool for a wide variety of applications in a vast range of industries. Even better, it’s a Fluke tool which means that it is rugged and ergonomic. It allows clear observation of machinery in motion – all cyclic motion can be slowed or stopped visually in order to note performance, observe dynamic motion, measure speed, or photograph/video the action.
The stroboscope can be used as a strobe tachometer to measure the speed instead of using a laser tachometer. In order to use the stroboscope, you will need access to visibly see the object to measure and it needs to have some marking on it to use as a reference point. A strobe tachometer is a good tool to have because you can’t always get access to the machine shaft to stick a piece of reflective tape to use a laser tachometer or make contact with the moving shaft to use a contact tachometer.
Adjustable Flash Duration
- For most applications standard flash duration works without adjustment.
- For high rpm or larger objects rotating with high surface speed, adjustable flash duration is needed.
- For high speed applications, objects may move during the brief period of a single flash, resulting in a blurred image. By decreasing flash duration, objects have less time to move and the image will appear sharper.
