FT-2500 advanced tachometer measures the rotational speed by using the signal of change in sound, vibration or magnetic flux from rotating machines such as motor or the like.
The use of FFT technology enables the FT-2500 to calculate and display the rotational speed of any complex waveform signals from microphone, sound level meter or vibration sensor by extracting the frequency component which is equivalent to the rotational speed.
The FT-2500 has several advantages over conventional tachometers. Even though the rotating shaft is not accessible, it allows easy evaluation of the rotation object such as motor which has already been built in product. There is no need to affix reflective mark to the measurement object or special machining to the rotating shaft. A newly developed algorithm is incorporated in the FT-2500 so that not only the steady rotation of motor or engine but also the status of the accelerated/decelerated rotation can be measured with high response.
