Mechanical Hand-Held Tension Meters DXN
DXN
High Precision Tension Meter
11 ranges, 20-120 g to 5-50 Kg
A precision movement with high over-load capacity provides highest accuracy and long lasting calibration
Features
- Large, linear scale for higher reading accuracy over the entire range.
- Material thickness compensation on all high range models.
- DXN's are individually calibrated for highest accuracy.
- Choice of guide rollers for filament speeds up o 5000 m/min.
- Rugged die-cast aluminum housing.
- NIST-Traceable calibration optionally available.

Options
Air Damping (A)
An adjustable, precision air dashpot provides steady tension readings for those applications where high tension fluctuations exist
Lever (L) A heavy-duty, lever-operated mechanism moves the outer rollers for easy acquisition of the running filament. Recommended for models of 10 K higher.
High Speed Rollers
(K) For speeds up to 3500 m/min (U) For speeds up to 5000 m/min.
