PK1 Pocket-StrobeTM

The PK-1 is no Longer Available, it has been replaced by the PK-2


At a quarter the size of other strobes, the PK1 Pocket-Strobe is the world's smallest industrial stroboscope. It offers true portability and convenient single-handed operation. The Pocket-Strobe never needs to be hand carried. It fits in a pocket or can be worn on a belt or in its optional holster. As bright as full-sized "pistol grip" strobes, the Pocket-Strobe can make objects which are moving at high speeds appear to stop or move in slow motion. When this occurs, the user can safely and easily analyze the object's motion, check for cracks or damaged parts, ensure proper registration, determine sources of unwanted vibration, etc.—all without having to stop a piece of equipment or the entire production process. It also provides precise, non-contact speed measurement between 30 and 12,000 RPM. It has rechargeable battery operation and includes an NIST-traceable calibration certificate. Now available with optional TTL trigger output for interface to today's most popular vibration analyzer/data collectors! Made in USA
