RX2/BX2 Narrow Web / Tape Tension Meter
BX2 - Single Flanged Rollers
RX2 - Dual Flange Rollers
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.
NOTE: 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
- Dual-flanged outer guide rollers with various widths for better filament guide (single-flanged rollers optional, recommendable if the material being measured is wider than the tape roller)
- Tape rollers with contact surface from 7 mm up to 50 mm are available
- Roller shifting mechanism ensure easy acquisition of the running material
