Ultra-Reliable, General Purpose

10 ranges, 5-50 g up to 5-50 kg

Handy Rugged Metal Housing

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.

Built-in material thickness compensator maximizes accuracy when using filaments of different diameters. (Standard on model DX2-SP and higher ranges)

Features
line

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.
NIST calibration available
DX2's hard-coated aluminum, V-grooved rollers are rated for speeds up to 2000 m/min or, optionally, up to 5000 m/min.
Finger Support: We recommend mounting a finger support for higher tension ranges (included)
