DX2 Tension meter
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).
- 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
- 41mm Ø scale
- 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)
- Certificate of Compliance with the order 2.1 according DIN EN 10204 is included
- Optionally available: Inspection Certificate 3.1 according DIN EN 10204 with calibration report

| Other tension ranges and measuring head widths available on request. Other units of measure available, such as g or kg. * Depending on model, either width of filament guide or outer distance between outside guide rollers ** Suitable for 95% of applications - PA = Polyamide Monofilament ***MTC = Material Thickness Compensator Special calibration using customer supplied samples is recommended, if process material differs significantly from the SCHMIDT calibration material in diameter, rigidity or shape. For this purpose a material sample of about 5 m should be supplied. | |||||
