Ametek Model 1726 Handheld Digital Tachometer

The AMETEK Model 1726 is a handheld digital tachometer designed for both contact and non-contact measurements of rotational and linear motion. It’s commonly used in production, engineering, inspection, quality control, and maintenance settings.​

Key Features

• Dual Functionality: Measures both rotational and linear speeds through contact and non-contact methods.​

• Measurement Accuracy: ±0.025% of the indicated reading ±1 least significant digit (LSD).

• Display: Digital LCD with memory and mode selection buttons.

• Power Supply: Operates on a standard 9V (NEDA 1604) battery; the display flashes the most significant digit when the battery is low.

• Included Accessories: Typically comes with a convex tip, concave tip, 10 cm linear measuring wheel, and a carrying case.​
  

Usage Instructions

• Non-Contact Measurement: Apply a 1/16” strip of retroreflective tape to the rotating object. Align the tachometer’s sensor with the tape to measure speed without physical contact.​
  

• Contact Measurement: Attach the appropriate tip or wheel to the tachometer, then press it against the moving part to obtain a reading.
