DX2
Tension Meter |
A precise jeweled movement, choice of ball bearing mounted rollers and rugged cast aluminum housing makes the DX2 ideal for the toughest production floor application.
Built-in mounting holes permit fixed installation for continuous in-line use.
 Built-in material thickness compensator maximizes accuracy when using filaments of different diameters. (Standard on model DX2-SP and higher ranges)
|
 Thumb-operated, roller shifting mechanism and exclusive snare-guide automatically guides the moving filament into the V-grooves eliminating breaks and snags.
| | Front filament loading permits the operator to observe running material, rollers and dial face at all times.
| | DX2's are individually calibrated for highest accuracy. |
| | NIST calibration available | | DX2's hard-coated aluminum, V-grooved rollers are rated for speeds up to 2000 m/min or, optionally, up to 5000 m/min. | Finger Support: We recommend mounting a finger support for higher tension ranges (included)

Calibration to customized material:
If process material differs significantly from the standard calibration material in diameter, rigidity or shape, special calibration using customer supplied samples is recommended. For this purpose a material sample of about 15 ft. should be supplied.

Air Damping (A)
An adjustable, precision air dashpot provides steady
tension reading as tension fluctuate. |
 |

Lever (L)
A heavy duty, lever-operated mechanism moves the outer rollers
for easy acquisition of the running filament. Recommended for models of
10 Kg or higher. |
