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.
