DXH
Tension Meter

3 Tension ranges available
from 400 – 5000 cN up to 5 – 20 daN

Special mechanical tension meter for applications where access space is limited or where filaments lie close together

This hand-held instrument is used for control measurements of pretensioned non running ropes and/or polyamide guitar strings.

Tension meter with hooks instead of guide rollers.

Special Features

  • Tension meter DXH for use in closed force systems
  • Minimized bending of material
  • Roller shifting mechanism ensure easy acquisition of the material
  • Special finger support located on the rear side reduces the effort to move the outer hooks
  • Custom-built configurations and special calibration are available

Standard Features

  • 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 DXH does not include a material thickness compensator

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.

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 DXH

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

ATTACHMENT

Code L – Special Lever

Standard for tension meter DXH-20K-L.
Facilitates acquisition of the running material when measuring high tensions. Reduces force necessary to extend outer rollers. Recommended for tension meter DXH-10K.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Code M – Memory Pointer

Retains the highest measured value (PEAK). Available for mechanical tension meters.
