136-2-AMG

Hand-Held Web Tension Sensor With Adjustable Measuring Geometry

Allows the user to develop a “tension profile” which greatly assists in the evaluation of web uniformity

Helical grooves in rollers stabilize the sensor even at high web speeds

Water-resistant design

High-precision ball-bearing mounted rollers

Sensor will not resonate, even when used on webs running at high speeds

High overload capacity

The new CHECK-LINE model 136-2-AMG hand-held web tension sensor measures tension on

paper and similar materials of any width. Tension can be measured on any section of the web

for comparative and relative purposes, such as side-to-side, center-to-side or any area across

the web width.

This is the only tension meter available for hand-held portable use for measurement on paper webs.

The sensor is typically supplied with the battery powered D-485 Digital Indicator which will show

empirical values from 0-100 with a resolution of 1 unit, and provides auto-zero, peak-hold and

averaging function.

Technical Data

Adjustable Measuring Geometry is a critical feature needed to configure the 3 Roller tension meter

for optimum measuring results on a variety of paper applications. A micrometer moves the center

sensing roller up or down, adjusting the amount of resultant force. If the sensor roller is extended

too far into the paper web it will disturb the web create force vectors that will cause inaccuracies

in the tension reading.
