Special Features
top
- The analog display shows changing and fluctuating tensions fast and enables an optimal process adjustment
- Non-rotating ceramic pins permit line speeds up to max. 6000 m/min.
- The ceramic pins have on each side small flanges to guide the thread and to avoid slipping off the ceramic pins
- Roller shifting mechanism ensure easy acquisition of the running material
- Built-in mounting holes permit fixed installation for continuous tension measurement
- Turned-up outer finger edges guide the running filament into the roller grooves
- Special finger support located on the rear side reduces the effort to move the outer roller assembly
 | Finger Support: We recommend mounting a finger support for higher tension ranges |
Note: This model does not include a material thickness compensator
