Special Features


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

Ball-bearing mounted guide rollers 29.5 mm groove Ø
– V-grooved (for material with max. 4 mm Ø)
– U-grooved (for material with 3 up to 10 mm Ø)
– tape grooved (for material with max. width of 10 mm)

Large bending radius assures gentle handling of the material being measured

Special guides on the bracket assembly permit easy material acquisition

Roller shifting mechanism ensure easy acquisition of the running material

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

Custom-built configurations are available

Standard Features


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

Each instrument is individually calibrated for highest accuracy

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.

SCHMIDT has the solution to any tension measuring problem! Please contact us to discuss your application requirements. Special designs are available.
To assist you in selecting the right tension meter for your specific application, please furnish:

  • description of your application
  • kind and dimensions of the material to be measured
  • expected tension range
  • line speed of the material to be measured
  • material sample of about 5 m

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 DXL

  • calibrated to custom supplied material
  • fine tuned to a specific tension range
  • other units of measure such as g or kg



Guide Rollers

Order-CodeLine Speed vmax. … m/minRoller Material
Standard4000Stainless steel 1.4125 (max. Ø 4 mm)
Code R14000Hard chrome-plated steel (radius R5)
Code B62000Hardened steel, width 6 mm

Attachment

  1. Code A - Air Damping

    Tension meter DX2 and DashpotFor tension meter DXL-2000 and DXL-5000.
    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 scale.


  2. Code L - Special Lever

    Zugspannungsmesser der Modellreihe DX mit einem AufsatzdrückerFacilitates acquisition of the running material when measuring high tensions. Reduces force necessary to extend outer rollers. Recommended for tension meter DXL-10K.


  3. Code M - Memory Pointer

    Scale with pointer for reading and memory pointerRetains the highest measured value (PEAK). Available for mechanical tension meters.
