Description
SKF TKRT 21 belongs to tachometer, part of our Mounting and maintenance tools range. Tell us how many you need by WhatsApp or email and we'll get back to you promptly with a quote for TKRT 21 and any equivalents.
The SKF TKRT tachometer is a handheld instrument for checking revolutions per minute and peripheral speed on rotating machinery. It supports both non-contact optical measurement and direct contact measurement, which makes it useful for commissioning and predictive maintenance work on motors, pumps, fans and transmissions. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this tool within its lineup of mounting and maintenance instruments.
The TKRT family uses a number to distinguish each version of the instrument, as seen in TKRT 10, TKRT 21 and TKRT 31. That number is not a physical dimension of the tool; it identifies the configuration or range of the unit. For an accurate quote, include the full part number so the exact variant can be confirmed.
Typical applications include electric motors, gearboxes, centrifugal pumps, fans and compressors, where a speed reading confirms that the machine is running as expected. These tachometers also help when tracking down problems related to unbalance or resonance. They are common in maintenance workshops, balancing services and plants in sectors such as food, chemical, cement and water treatment.
Choosing a model comes down to how you will take the reading. Optical mode works on accessible shafts fitted with reflective tape; contact mode uses a measuring wheel pressed against the moving surface. Useful selection criteria include working distance, speed range and whether the instrument can record values. Before measuring, make sure the surface is clean and the reflective tape is positioned correctly to avoid false readings.
The SKF TKRT tachometers can be compared with equivalent instruments from other brands that also offer optical and contact modes, provided the measuring ranges and signal type match. This is a tool selected by its features rather than a component replaced by a single part number. If you are unsure which version fits your task, the technical team can help based on the application.
To request a quote, send the complete part number of the tachometer you need via WhatsApp or email. If you do not have the number available, describe the application and the speed range you need to measure, and we will help you identify the right SKF TKRT variant. MR Industrial Accessories serves customers throughout the United States and in several Latin American countries.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between optical and contact mode?
- Optical mode reads speed without touching the shaft, using reflective tape and a light beam, which suits hard-to-reach rotating parts. Contact mode requires a wheel to rest on the moving surface and is often used for linear speeds or when tape cannot be applied.
- How do I know which TKRT model I need?
- It depends on the speed range, the measuring distance and whether you need to save data. Models TKRT 10, TKRT 21 and TKRT 31 cover different features. Send your part number or the specific application via WhatsApp and we will advise you with no obligation.
- Can it be used to measure linear speed?
- Yes, with the contact adapter and the appropriate measuring wheel you can obtain peripheral speed in meters per minute or feet per minute. It is important to select the correct wheel according to the surface and the expected range to obtain a reliable reading.
