Fluke 820-2 High Intensity LED Stroboscope

The Fluke 820-2 LED Stroboscope is a simple, easy to use tool for stop motion measurement and diagnostic purposes allowing you to investigate and observe potential mechanism failure with confidence on a variety of machinery, in a wide range of industries, all without making physical contact with the machine in question. The Fluke 820-2 stroboscope is a rugged, compact, portable strobe ideal for stop motion diagnostics, mechanical troubleshooting, and process or product research and development.

Feature

• High intensity 7-LED array with 4,800 Lux at 6,000 FPM/30 cm
• High efficiency LED solid-state light source with uniform flash characteristics allow for higher flash rates—30-300,000 FPM (flashes per minute)
• Digital pulse width modulation for exceptionally sharp images at high speeds
• Rugged, durable design utilizes solid-state LEDs with no filaments, gases, hollow cavities, or glass—(one meter drop)
• Quartz-accuracy control system provides high accuracy — 0.02 percent (+/- 1 digit)
• Multi-line LCD display
• Check the rotating speed of machinery without physical contact or need for reflective tape
• Advance or retard flash timing for viewing gear teeth, cutting surfaces, repeats, or “drifting” equipment.
• Simple push button operation with 2x and ÷2 buttons for easy adjustment

A strobe tachometer is a useful tool 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 - using a stroboscope you can "stop" the shaft down to 30 RPM (FPM).
