Special Features

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

Large bending radius assures gentle handling of the material being measured

Roller shifting mechanism ensure easy acquisition of the running material

Special guides on the bracket assembly permit easy material acquisition

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

Large, V-grooved guide rollers with 32 mm groove diameter, ball-bearing mounted

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 DXF does not include a material thickness compensator

Other units of measure available, such as g.
* Outer distance between outside guide rollers
** 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 DXF can be reconverted for special applications.

Scales

SCHMIDT scales are manufactured according to the most stringent quality requirements. Printed scales are not used. Instead, each scale is individually marked for the instrument involved. This ensures highest quality. Our special procedure makes it possible to provide tension meter DXF

calibrated to custom supplied material
fine tuned to a specific tension range

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 - Schleppzeiger
For 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
