DN1 Durable tension meter for high tensions
Durable tension meters for a wide range of applications in the textile, fiber and wire industries.
The DN1 analog tension meter shows changing and fluctuating tensions fast, it enables an optimal process adjustment .The built-in material thickness compensator compensates different material diameters for a particular range (only DN1-1000 and higher ranges). The scale (54 mm Ø) is easy to read, the linearized scale provides a clear reading. The filament guide and roller shifting mechanism ensure easy acquisition of the running material.
- Large, easy to read scale (54 mm Ø)
- Shock-resistant movement
- Filament guide and roller shifting mechanism ensure easy acquisition of the running material
- Ball-bearing mounted, V-grooved guide rollers
- Special calibration is available
- Specific Test Report with calibration test report optionally available
- Linearized scale provides a better reading
- Built-in material thickness compensator improves accuracy for changing diameters on DN1-1000 and higher ranges
- Everything in operator's view:
- the guide rollers
- the measured material
- the readings - Each instrument is individually calibrated for highest accuracy
- Rugged aluminum housing

| Other tension ranges and measuring head widths available on request. Other units of measure available - g or kg. * Depending on model, either width of filament guide or outer distance between outside guide rollers ** Suitable for 95% of applications - PA = Polyamide Monofilament ***MTC = Material Thickness Compensator Special calibration using customer supplied samples is recommended, if process material differs significantly from the SCHMIDT calibration material in diameter, rigidity or shape. For this purpose a material sample of about 5 m should be supplied. | ||||||
