The REED K4020 stroboscope also known as a strobe, is an instrument used to make a cyclically moving object appear to be slow-moving, or stationary. It does this with a flashtube that produces extremely short duration of repetitive flashes of light.
The rate of the stroboscope is adjustable to different frequencies. When a rotating or vibrating object is observed with the stroboscope at its vibration frequency (or a submultiple of it), it appears stationary. Thus stroboscopes are also used to measure RPM.
REED K4020 Features:
- Digital stroboscope freezes the motion and measures the speed of a rotating object, without contact
- Simply aim and synchronize the strobe’s flash rate (fpm) with the speed (rpm) of the object
- Direct reading of RPMs
- Exclusive one-chip micro-computer LSI circuit and crystal control time-base assures accuracy of ±1%
- 4-digit, 0.3″ high LED display
- Duty cycles from 5 to 30 minutes (depending on RPM range)
- Tripod mountable
- AC operated
- Plastic injection case. Plastic lens. Mirror type reflector.
