What is the difference between a tachometer and a speedometer?
1 Answers
The tachometer measures engine speed, while the speedometer displays the vehicle's instantaneous speed. The tachometer is one of the essential instruments in the mechanical industry, used to measure the rotational speed, linear velocity, or frequency of motors. The speedometer is an application for viewing driving speed, supporting both miles per hour and kilometers per hour units. The differences between a car's tachometer and speedometer are as follows: 1. Different content: The speedometer reflects how many kilometers the vehicle travels per hour, while the tachometer reflects how many revolutions the engine makes per minute; 2. Different indication directions: The speedometer indicates the vehicle's driving speed, generally ranging from 0-300 km/h; the tachometer indicates the engine's speed, typically ranging from 0-8000 r/min.
