An electronic stethoscope can be used for locating noises within machines and installations to assist in the inspection and maintenance of equipment.

The SKF TMST 3 electronic stethoscope is designed to ensure the effective identification of troublesome parts, through accurate pinpointing of bearing and machine noises.

The device is supplied with two probes of differing lengths, 70 mm and 300 mm, to facilitate access in hard-to-reach or recessed areas. The headset has an adjustable digital 32-level volume control and is designed to provide exceptional sound quality, enabling the operator to reliably, clearly and accurately identify the sound of problematic parts, even in extremely noisy environments. The instrument is equipped with an output for analogue recording to help facilitate analysis and comparison.

A pre-recorded audio CD, supplied with the electronic stethoscope, demonstrates the most commonly encountered troublesome machine noises.

The TMST 3 is said to be lightweight with an ergonomic design, making it user-friendly and easy to operate with one hand and requiring no special training.

The headset, probes and CD are supplied in a sturdy carrying case to provide easy handling, portability and storage.
