* Outer dimensions of front plate
** Suitable for 95 % of applications PA = Polyamide Monofilament, calibrated with running filament approx. 300 m/min

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.

For the tension sensor TSP we offer different display units for one or more sensors, as well as strain gauge amplifier.
