Stroboscopes are used to conduct motion analysis of a rotating body. The underlying principle of the stroboscopes is that it shines a light on the rotating object at specific intervals making the body appear stationary. The device is used mostly in the industry, and our list provides you all the necessary technical information required to select a stroboscope. So check out this list of 10 best stroboscopes and let us know your favourite in the comments section below:
10. Deluxe Stroboscope by Artec Educational (25$)
Features two buttons that control the flash rate of the Stroboscope, displayed on the 3 “Seven Segment Displays”. You can use this stroboscope to perform experiments with fans, pendulums, spinning tops, and more.

8. Pyle PST30 Digital LED Non-Contact Stroboscope-Tachometer(80$)
PST30 stroboscope tachometer can measure speeds up to 20000RPM. PST30 is a hand-held, battery-powered, LED digital stroboscope for use in speed measurement as well as motion analysis. At speeds less than 1000RPM, you can adjust the resolution of o.1RPM. The specs of this device are almost similar to the no.9, the only difference being excellent durability.

7. Sper Scientific 840009 Digital Stroboscope(196$)
Powerful xenon lamp. The ½” high four-digit LED is easy to read in both light and dark environments. The flashes are controlled by a microcontroller based crystal that allows for greater accuracy. This, not a tachometer so it will not tell you speeds rather only frequencies.

2. Shimpo DT-725 Internal Battery Powered Digital Stroboscope(545$)
Battery-powered digital stroboscope provides stop motion or slow motion view of moving machinery for various applications such as preventive maintenance, printing inspection, and speed measurement. Flash rates of this device can reach up to 12500 per minute. The 10W Xenon flash tube with 10 to 15-microsecond flash ensures sharp images in any lighting conditions.

1. Fluke 820-2 LED Stroboscope(1000$)
An industry standard device. Fluke 820 is equipped with an LED solid-state light source flaunting a flash rate of – 30 to 300,000 FPM (flashes per minute). If your job requires a higher intensity of light then, a separate mode, controlled by an array of 7 LEDs, is also available that provides 4800 LUX. however, they are useful only at speeds below 6000FPM.
