Product Description
Monarch Instrument ROS-W Remote Optical Speed Sensor
Monarch Instrument ROS-W - Remote Optical Speed Sensor
The **Monarch Instrument ROS-W** is a high-performance remote optical speed sensor designed for non-contact RPM measurements in demanding industrial environments. It utilizes a visible red LED light source that functions as a precise aiming device during setup, ensuring accurate alignment with the rotating target. Housed in a rugged, threaded **303 Stainless Steel** tube and supplied with a 90-degree mounting bracket, the ROS-W provides a durable solution for capturing data without physical contact. The "W" configuration features tinned wire leads for direct integration into control panels and data acquisition systems.
