Tachometers are designed to continuously measure the rotation speed of machine and mechanism parts.
Tachometers are connected via a spring-load coupling when rigidly attached to the object or via a flexible shaft when attached to the object by means of shock absorbers.
General specifications
Allowable basic error of the tachometer, %, maximum:
- within the operating measuring range ±1;
- in the remaining part of the scale (for tachometers with right/left zero – from the upper range limit; for tachometers with center-zero scale – from the sum of upper range limits) ±1.5.
Method of tachometer attachment to measurement object:
- using a spring-loaded coupling with a shank bore diameter – 25 or 40 mm;
- using a flexible shaft.
Direction of tachometer drive shaft rotation:
- for tachometers with right/left zero – left- or right-handed (the left-handed rotation of the tachometer drive shaft means counterclockwise rotation, the right-handed rotation – clockwise rotation when viewing the tachometer from the drive shaft side);
- for tachometers with center-zero scale – two-way.
Tachometer climatic versions:
- У3 – for operation at a temperature from minus 60 to plus 60°С and relative humidity up to 80%;
- T3 – for operation at a temperature from minus 10 to plus 55°С and relative humidity up to 80%.
Tachometer weight (with no regard to the flexible shaft) is 1.4 kg as maximum.

Notes:
- The scale of magnetic induction tachometer ТМ 2,5 is calibrated in percent.
- Tachometer factor means a ratio of the input rotation speed to the rotation speed indicated by the tachometer. –page 88 of the Catalog
Ordering
When ordering, it is required to specify the following:
- Description
- Version
- Tachometer factor
- Scale type
- Shank bore diameter
- Method of attachment to measurement object
- Location and direction of drive shaft rotation
- Flexible shaft length
- Climatic version designation
- ТУ designation
Example of an order
With an upper range limit of 2,000 rpm, 190 mm long flexible shaft, right-handed direction of tachometer drive shaft rotation, right/left zero scale, tachometer factor 1:1, climatic version У3, with the drive shaft in the down position:
“Tachometer ТМ2-1П.190.1:1.У3. shaft down ТУ 25.02.110279-77”;
the same for left-handed direction of tachometer drive shaft rotation:
“Tachometer ТМ2-1Л.190.1:1.У3. shaft down ТУ 25.02.110279-77”.
With an upper range limit of 4,000 rpm, spring-loaded coupling, shank bore diameter of 25 mm, center-zero scale, tachometer factor 1:4, climatic version У3, with the drive shaft positioned to the right:
“Tachometer ТМ4-0.1:4.У3.25. shaft to the right ТУ 25.02.110279-77”. – page 89 of the Catalog
Designations
- П (Л) – right-hand (left-hand) direction of tachometer drive shaft rotation;
- 1 – flexible shaft;
- 0 – center-zero scale.
