Ultra-reliable

MECHANICAL TENSION METERS

DX2 Series

10 ranges, 5-50 g to 5-20 Kg

A precise jeweled movement, choice of ball bearing mounted rollers and rugged cast aluminum

housing makes the DX2 ideal for the toughest production floor application.

Built-in mounting holes permit fixed installation for continuous in-line use.

FEATURES

·        Thumb-operated, roller-shifting mechanism and exclusive snare-guide automatically guides the moving filament into the V-grooves eliminating breaks and snags.

·        Front filament loading permits the operator to observe running material, rollers and dial face at all times.

·        DX2’s are individually calibrated for highest accuracy.

·        DX2’s hard-coated aluminum, V-grooved rollers are rated for speeds up to 2000 m/min or, optionally, up to 5000 m/min.

·        Built-in material thickness compensator maximizes accuracy when using filaments of different diameters.***

·        NIST calibration available.
