Special Features

The analog display of tension meter DXE shows changing and fluctuating tensions fast and enables an optimal process adjustment

Small measuring head width with of only 36 mm for measurements at positions with limited space

Length of measuring head approx. 47 mm

Turned-up outer finger edges guide the running filament into the roller grooves

Movable outer guide rollers

Built-in mounting holes permit fixed installation for continuous tension measurement

Special finger support located on the rear side reduces the effort to move the outer roller assembly

Standard Features

Everything in operator’s view:
– the guide rollers
– the measured material
– the readings

Small, ball-bearing mounted, V-grooved guide rollers

Each instrument is individually calibrated for highest accuracy

41 mm Ø scale

Tension meter with rugged aluminium housing

Certificate of Compliance with the order 2.1 according EN 10204 is included

Optionally available: Inspection Certificate 3.1 according EN 10204 with calibration report

Finger Support

We recommend mounting a finger support for higher tension ranges

Note

Tension meter DXE does not include a material thickness compensator

Other units of measure available, such as g.
* Width of bracket assembly
** Suitable for 95 % of applications – PA = Polyamide Monofilament

Calibration to customized material:
If process material differs significantly from the SCHMIDT calibration material in diameter, rigidity or shape, special calibration using customer supplied samples is recommended. For this purpose a material sample of about 5 m should be supplied.

Tension Meter DXE can be reconverted for special applications.

Guide Rollers

Order-Code	Line Speed v_max.… m/min	Roller Material
Standard	900	Hard-coated aluminium
Code K	2000	Hard-coated aluminium
Code T	450	Plastic (POM) black
Code W	450	Nickel-plated steel

Attachment

Code A - Air Damping
For tension range 20 – 120 cN and higher
This adjustable mechanical air dashpot is recommended for applications in which great fluctuations of the measured tension occur, as in spooling and winding machines. This assures steady tension readings on the scale.

Code M - Memory Pointer
Tension range 20 – 120 cN and higher
Retains the highest measured value (PEAK). Available for mechanical tension meters.

Calibration Report

Inspection Certificate 3.1 according DIN EN 10204
including a calibration report is optional available
