RheinTacho Rotaro T Digital Hand Tachometer
The RheinTacho Rotaro T is a versatile digital hand tachometer designed for the precise measurement of rotational speed, linear velocity, and length. Combining both non-contact optical and contact mechanical measurement methods in a compact, easy-to-use instrument, the Rotaro T is ideal for maintenance, production, quality control, and process monitoring applications across a wide range of industries.
Whether measuring the speed of rotating machinery, the surface velocity of moving materials, or the length of continuous products, the Rotaro T provides reliable, accurate results quickly and efficiently.
Dual Measurement Technology
Optical (Non-Contact) Measurement
The Rotaro T measures rotational speed without physically touching the equipment. A beam of light is directed at a reflective target attached to the rotating component, and the reflected signal is used to calculate RPM.
Features:
- Non-contact RPM measurement
- Measurement distance up to 600 mm
- Fast and accurate readings
- Ideal for rotating machinery and hard-to-access components
- Clear 5-digit LCD display
Mechanical (Contact) Measurement
For direct measurements, the Rotaro T can be fitted with a contact probe and applied directly to a rotating shaft. A measuring wheel can also be attached, enabling the measurement of:
- Rotational speed (RPM)
- Surface velocity
- Linear speed
- Length travelled
Material Measurement Applications
With the addition of a special adapter, the Rotaro T can measure the speed and length of a wide variety of continuous materials, including:
- Yarn
- Wire
- Glass fibres
- Textile products
- Cables
- Ropes
- Paper webs
- Plastic films and foils
- Other fibre-based materials
This makes the Rotaro T particularly well suited to textile manufacturing, wire processing, packaging, converting, and general industrial production environments.
