Portable Digital Tension Meter for Thread, Wire, and Fiber Optics

DESCRIPTION / TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

This is a Digital Tension Meter, a high-precision portable instrument designed to accurately measure the tension in moving or static linear materials, such as yarn, fine wire, and optical fiber. This tool is essential for real-time quality control (QC) on the production line across a variety of industries. The following are its detailed technical specifications and capabilities.

This instrument delivers high-precision measurement performance, combining the latest microprocessor technology with a reliable three-guide-roller mechanism. The system is capable of producing measurements with an accuracy of up to 0.1cN and is supported by a very high internal sampling rate (approx. 5 kHz) to accurately capture tension fluctuations. Available in various configurations, this tool can measure a wide spectrum of tensions, from a few centiNewtons up to 2000cN (20N), to meet different application needs.

Designed for versatility in a dynamic industrial environment, this tool can be adapted for various material types. Options for customizable guide rollers—such as ceramic for fine yarns, V-groove for wires, or solidified aluminum—ensure optimal contact and accurate measurement without damaging the material under test. Its outstanding capability for high-speed applications allows it to accurately measure tension on production lines moving at speeds of up to 2000 meters per minute, with minimal material deflection (0.5mm max).

Built for ease of use and durability in the field, its lightweight and portable design is powered by standard AA batteries, making it easy for technicians to perform checks at various points on production machinery. The clear digital display with a fast update rate (approx. 4 times per second) ensures easy and instant reading of results. To guarantee a long service life, the instrument is equipped with overload protection of up to 150% of its tension range, protecting the high-precision sensor from accidental damage.
