Answering Your Questions Regarding Tachometer

 

Ø  What is a tachometer and what is it used for?

It is a compatible and convenient device which is mainly used to measure the RPM (Rotations per Minute) speed of a rotating body, but is capable of measuring the angular distance and speed as well. Surprisingly, it can also measure the acceleration of the body by keeping a track of the instantaneous speed. It is also known as a revolution counter.

Ø  What type of device is it and how is it operated?

Tachometer is a digital and electrical device which is mainly battery- powered. These batteries are conveniently, non- volatile batteries so that the data does not get erased off if the it is not connected to the main power supply. Some other types also use rechargeable battery cells which are even more convenient and give a better experience.

Ø  What is a contact tachometer?

A contact revolution counter is another variant which has an elongated thin stick- type structure out, which responsible for the measurement work. It requires a contact between the device through the stick and the body whose measurements are to be taken.

Ø  What is a non- contact tachometer? What are its different types?

These are the exact opposite of the type mentioned earlier. They have no elongated structure to measure and do not require any contact between the two bodies and thus, provide a better experience and service.

It is broadly classified into laser and optical types. The laser ones, as the name suggests, use laser light to serve their purpose while the optical ones are even more handy and attractive.

Ø  Where are these tachometers used nowadays?

Tachometer are usually, now used in each aspect where rotational speed is to be measured like the mills, motor and engine manufacturing industries, automobiles, automobiles manufacturing centres and in marine fleet.

Illustration on the Types of Digital Timer

 

A digital timer is a small and convenient electronic device that works digitally to keep a track of time. It is a simple timer working in a digital manner. It shows the timings in units of seconds, minutes and hours. It is battery- powered and generally has a non- volatile battery so that the data does not get lost when the timer is not connected to the power supply.

Digital Timer is highly accurate and reliable too which is why it is commonly employed in factories and industries for various tasks.

It is available in several types according to the usage and functions-

·         Delay- on timers- these use a definite time to pass as soon as the input signal is received and the readings start measuring to activate the output. When the delay ends, the contacts release and shut automatically.

·         Delay- off timers- these begin functioning when there is an interruption in the power supply. It works in the inverse way as of delay- on timers.

·         One shot timer- they contact instantly when the power supply is given to the timer and once the fixed interval exceeds as set by the user, the contacts come back to the same initial position. These are also known as pulse former timers.

·         Recycle timers- the control switches the closing which begins the cycling function. The load will periodically continue to switch on and off. The process terminates as soon as the time limit is reached and the control switch releases.

·         Interval delay timers- this type of digital timer is also known as the delay pulse timer. It works when the relay is immediately strengthened as soon as there is application of supply or end of the input switch.

·         Time meters- they are used to keep a track of timings. They work more like a stopwatch.

Complete Info About Tachometer Model- CT203

·        A tachometer is a device which primarily used to measure RPM (ROTATION per MINUTE ) of a rotating body to check its speed, acceleration and functioning.

·        This tachometer comes along with a bright and digital 6 digit and 7 segment displays for the values of RPM. RPM is the value measured by tachometer and stands for Rotations per Minute.

·        It has a bright display to view it even in ambient and dark situations.

·        The scale factor is settable as per choice in the device, from 0.001 to 999.999.

·        The RPM measurable is from resolution 0.001 to 1 RPM.

·        It can be used with a proximity sensor and can easily be modified for electromagnetic sensor. It suitable for use with a proximity sensor.

·        As the scale factor is delicate, to protect it from tampering, rear scale factor lock is available READ MORE

Miraculous Types of Temperature Controller

 

Temperature Controllers have stood up time to time differently among other similar products owing to its innumerable uses and functions. They are the most accurate and reliable device product to control the temperatures to desirable values. They are commonly referred to as ‘thermostats’.

Today, in the market, they are available in three different categories, differentiated on the basis of their functions, working and principles-

·         On/ Off Thermostats- they are the most common and cheapest type of temperature controllers which function on the principle of on/ off like a switch. When the temperature is either lowered or higher than the set value, a trigger is made and it starts working. As soon as the temperature is made according to the desirable value, the thermostat switches itself off. The most common example of these are the thermostats fixed at our houses and offices READ MORE
