See More Tension Meters, Mechanical

Narrow Webs / Tapes

Available with single or dual flanged cylindrical rollers up to 100mm long

Cylindrical rollers are offered in 7, 10, 15, 20, 30, 36, 41 and 50 mm lengths to measure tapes, bands, films and similar materials. Roller length should not exceed 2x the width of the material being measured.

Tension Ranges: Refer to DX2 Data Sheet.

NOTE 1: Starting point of low-range instruments will be higher than DX2.

NOTE 2: Models using 50 mm roller lengths are supplied with a special heavy-duty bracket and use the DXX model designation.

Finger Support: We recommend mounting a finger support for higher tension ranges

Note:This model does not include a material thickness compensator
