The SKF TMRT tachometer is a portable measuring instrument that combines two reading methods: laser and contact. It is used to record the rotational speed of motors, shafts, pulleys and fans, and also to measure linear speed on moving surfaces. It is a useful diagnostic tool for predictive maintenance tasks, commissioning and equipment verification, where knowing the actual RPM allows you to detect deviations, confirm process parameters or monitor the evolution of a machine.
The TMRT series designation reads as a family code: the letters identify the multifunction tachometer line and the number that follows distinguishes the model within that line. In the examples, TMRT 1-56 OPTIONAL appears, where the numeric block indicates the variant and the OPTIONAL suffix indicates that the item may include accessories or alternative configurations depending on the order. To quote the correct instrument, it is best to provide the full part number, because each combination can change the scope of supply.
This type of tachometer is used in industrial plants, maintenance workshops and field services. In Argentina it is common to see it in the food, petrochemical, cement, paper and power generation industries, where electric motors, pumps, compressors, conveyor belts and turbines are measured. It is also used in the assembly and commissioning of new equipment, and in condition monitoring routines to record rotational speed as a control variable.
To select the instrument, take into account the type of measurement: laser mode allows readings at a distance on reflective surfaces or marks, while contact mode requires resting the tip on the shaft or surface. Check the speed range, resolution and accuracy you need for your application. During assembly, verify sensor alignment and cleanliness of the measuring area; in contact mode, use the appropriate tip and avoid slipping that could distort the reading.
Regarding equivalents and interchangeability, tachometers from different brands may differ in range, accuracy and accessories. It is not advisable to replace one model with another just because the designation is similar: you must compare the technical specifications and the type of measurement. If you need an alternative, at MR Accesorios Industriales we can guide you on the available options and compatible accessories, always based on the part number and the specific data of your equipment.
If you already have the tachometer part number or that of the tip and accessories you need, send it by WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales and we will send you the quote. You can also ask us about other assembly and maintenance tools from the SKF line we sell. With the exact part number we avoid confusion and give you a precise answer.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between laser and contact mode?
- Laser mode measures at a distance and is useful for hard-to-reach points or moving shafts. Contact mode requires resting the tip on the shaft or surface and usually gives a more stable reading at low speeds. The choice depends on the application and the available space.
- How do I request a quote for the TMRT 1-56 OPTIONAL?
- Send the full part number by WhatsApp along with the quantity and the accessories you need. At MR Accesorios Industriales we will reply with the quote for that configuration.
- Can it measure linear speed?
- Yes, with the appropriate accessory the tachometer can measure linear speed in m/min or ft/min on moving surfaces. Ask us about the accessories compatible with the model you are quoting.
