Measuring Range: 6 - 120,000 FPM

The brightest, fully featured LED strobe in a trim, efficient design. The ESL-20 series LED stroboscope incorporates 96 separate high-powered LEDs designed to measure the speed of rotating or cycling linear motion objects without contact or reflective tape, as well as freeze motion visually.

Using a rugged aluminum housing and the latest technology, it’s compact size, NiMH rechargeable battery and lifetime LED lights make it a perfect choice for use anywhere on the factory floor. The ESL-20 is ideal for speed, motion and vibration analysis, such as rotating shafts, fans, cams, etc

Complete Kit

Supplied in foam-fitted carrying case with LED Stroboscope, AC-Adapter/Charger, instruction manual and NIST-Traceable Calibration Certificate.

Optional ET-1 External Trigger Kit

The External Trigger immediately synchronizes the stroboscope with a rotating object. The sensor is aimed at a ferrous target mounted on the drive shaft and triggers the strobe to flash each time the target passes the sensor. ET-1 is complete with sensor, cables and AC adapter. Ferrous target not-included
