Mechanical Hand-Held Tension Meters DX-2H

DX2H
Closed Force Tension Meter
3 Tension ranges from 400 - 5000 g to 5 - 20 kg
The DX2H tension meter is designed for closed force applications where access space is limited or where filaments lie close together. This hand-held unit is used to measure tension of fixed wires and filaments such as window regulators or guitar strings.
The DX2H uses hooks instead of guide rollers.
Features
- For use in closed force systems
- Roller shifting mechanism ensure easy acquisition of the material
- Minimized bending of material
- Custom-built configurations and special calibration are available
- Special finger support located on the rear side reduces the effort to move the outer hooks
