About NIDEC-SHIMPO

NIDEC-SHIMPO is a brand under Nidec Corporation, formed through the integration of Shimpo, a Japanese manufacturer with a history in precision measurement and motion control. The brand's product portfolio includes tachometers, force gauges, test stands, and related instrumentation used in industrial maintenance, quality control, and laboratory environments. 3G Electric supplies NIDEC-SHIMPO tachometers and force gauges, offering global logistics support for these measurement tools.

The tachometer line includes contact, non-contact, and combination models. Contact tachometers such as the DT-107A and DT-105A-S12 measure rotational speed up to 25,000 RPM with an accuracy of ±0.006% and 1 RPM resolution. These units feature LED or LCD displays and include accessories like cone adapters or master wheels. Combination models, including the DT-207LR, DT-205LR, DT-207LR-S12, and DT-205LR-S12, support both contact and non-contact measurement, with some variants providing a 3.5-inch extension shaft or funnel adapter. Many tachometers ship with a NIST-traceable calibration certificate, which is relevant for facilities requiring documented traceability.

Force measurement products include digital force gauges and test stands. The FGE-500HXY digital force gauge measures tension and compression up to 500 lbf with 0.1 lbf resolution, displaying results in N, kg, or lb on an LCD screen. Accuracy is specified at ±0.2%. The FGS-100L hand-lever test stand is compatible with FGE, FGV, and MF series force gauges, enabling manual compression or tension testing in quality control and laboratory settings. These instruments are used for verifying force thresholds, material testing, and assembly verification.

Technical buyers evaluating NIDEC-SHIMPO equipment typically focus on measurement range, resolution, accuracy, and included accessories. The tachometers offer a narrow accuracy band and fine resolution, which suits applications where small speed deviations matter. The force gauges provide a defined accuracy specification and multiple unit display options. Test stands add repeatability to manual force testing by guiding the gauge and applying controlled leverage.

3G Electric supports the NIDEC-SHIMPO line by stocking tachometers, force gauges, and test stands, and by providing logistics coordination for international orders. The company serves plant engineers, maintenance managers, and procurement specialists who need measurement instruments with documented calibration and clear specifications. For teams standardizing on NIDEC-SHIMPO, 3G Electric can supply individual units or multiple items across the product families, with shipping to global destinations.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about NIDEC-SHIMPO from 3G Electric.

What is the measurement accuracy of NIDEC-SHIMPO contact tachometers like the DT-107A?

The NIDEC-SHIMPO DT-107A contact tachometer provides an RPM accuracy of ±0.006% and a resolution of 1 RPM, with a maximum contact measurement of 25,000 RPM. It includes two cone adapters and a NIST-traceable calibration certificate. This level of accuracy is suitable for verifying rotational speeds in maintenance and quality control where small deviations are critical. The LED display shows readings directly, and the unit is part of a family that includes models with LCD displays and different accessory sets.

Which force gauges are compatible with the NIDEC-SHIMPO FGS-100L test stand?

The NIDEC-SHIMPO FGS-100L hand-lever test stand is compatible with FGE, FGV, and MF series force gauges. It provides manual compression or tension testing, making it useful for quality control and laboratory environments. The stand applies leverage to the gauge, which can improve repeatability compared to hand-held testing. When selecting a gauge for use with the FGS-100L, confirm the force range and resolution match your test requirements. For example, the FGE-500HXY measures up to 500 lbf with 0.1 lbf resolution.

What is the difference between contact and non-contact tachometers in the NIDEC-SHIMPO line?

Contact tachometers, such as the DT-107A and DT-105A-S12, require physical contact with the rotating object via a cone adapter or master wheel. Non-contact models use optical sensing. Combination units like the DT-207LR, DT-205LR, DT-207LR-S12, and DT-205LR-S12 support both methods. Contact measurement typically provides direct RPM readings up to 25,000 RPM with ±0.006% accuracy, while non-contact is useful where access is limited. The combination models include accessories such as a funnel adapter or extension shaft depending on the variant.

Does the NIDEC-SHIMPO FGE-500HXY force gauge come with a calibration certificate?

The product listing for the NIDEC-SHIMPO FGE-500HXY digital force gauge does not specify a calibration certificate in the provided specifications. The gauge measures tension and compression up to 500 lbf with 0.1 lbf resolution and ±0.2% accuracy, displaying in N, kg, or lb. For calibration documentation, check the specific SKU or contact 3G Electric for available options. Many NIDEC-SHIMPO tachometers ship with a NIST-traceable certificate, but force gauge documentation may vary by model and order configuration.

What accessories are included with NIDEC-SHIMPO combination tachometers?

Accessories vary by model. The DT-207LR includes a carrying case. The DT-205LR-S12 includes a 3.5-inch extension shaft. The DT-207LR-S12 includes a master wheel with a 6-inch circumference. The DT-205LR includes a funnel adapter. All listed combination models include a NIST-traceable calibration certificate. These accessories support different measurement setups: extension shafts help reach confined areas, master wheels provide a known circumference for linear speed measurement, and funnel adapters assist with contact measurement on certain surfaces. Confirm the specific included items when ordering.

What is the maximum RPM for NIDEC-SHIMPO contact tachometers?

NIDEC-SHIMPO contact tachometers in the DT series, including the DT-107A, DT-105A-S12, DT-207LR, DT-205LR, DT-207LR-S12, and DT-205LR-S12, have a maximum contact RPM of 25,000. They offer 1 RPM resolution and ±0.006% accuracy. This range covers many rotating equipment applications, from small motors to industrial drive shafts. For speeds above 25,000 RPM, non-contact optical measurement may be required, but the combination models also support non-contact mode. Always verify the target speed falls within the instrument's specified range.
