12 Tension ranges available from 20 - 120 cN up to 5 - 50 daN
Application textil industry: up to 50000 tex
Application wire industry: up to Ø 2.5 mm Cu
Rugged mechanical tension meter for versatile use in textile, fibre and wire industry
Hand-held unit for tension ranges up to max. 50 daN
Tension meter with large, easy to read scale
Special Features
The analog display of tension meter DN1 shows changing and fluctuating tensions fast and 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).
Large, easy to read scale (54 mm Ø)
Linearized scale provides a better reading
Tension meter with shock-resistant movement
Filament guide and roller shifting mechanism ensure easy acquisition of the running material
Standard Features
Everything in operator’s view:
– the guide rollers
– the measured material
– the readings
Ball-bearing mounted, V-grooved guide rollers
Each instrument is individually calibrated for highest accuracy
Special calibration is available
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
Material Thickness Compensator
For better accuracy the material to be measured or a similar material with the same diameter should be inserted.

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.
