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
