Features
Tachometry Overview
  • The purpose of the Tachometer is to measure belt travel
  • The measurement is required to be very accurate, within 0.1% to 0.05%.
  • Errors in tachometry translate directly to error in the belt weigher output.
  • The tachometer pulley (or wheel) should be at least 300mm diameter to reduce tachometer error.
  • CST use tachometers frequencies from 1Hz to 200Hz
  • Higher frequency tachometers can be easier to calibrate in a short belt distance
  • Designed and Built in Australia
