How To Use A Stroboscope to Measure RPM | Precision Maintenance Toolbox | ACOEM

Measuring the running speed or RPM of your machinery can be performed with a stroboscope. Identifying the operating speed of your machinery is an important part of conscientious condition monitoring. Significant loss of time and productivity can occur if your machinery is not operating at the correct RPM.

Follow along with Acoem technical trainer Stan Riddle as he guides us through the process of how to use a strobe light to verify the running speed of a machine.
