DXL Tension meter with large rollers for minimized material deflection

For fiber optic cables and buffer tubes up to 8mm max

Special purpose model feature large rollers to minimize bending of materials like optics, carbon and technical fibers.

Fragile filaments such as fiber optics and other technical fibers may require large roller diameters and a wide roller spacing.

Note: This model does not include a material thickness compensator

Tension Ranges

Model	Ranges	Measuring Head	SCHMIDT Calibration
DXL-2000	200-2000	235	PA: 2.3 mm Ø or customer sample
DXL-5000	400-5000	235	PA: 2.3 mm Ø or customer sample
DXL-10K	2.5-10 daN	288	PA: 4.8 mm Ø or customer sample
Other tension ranges available on request. Other units of measure available, such as g and kg. * Outer distance between outside guide rollers ** Suitable for 95% of applications - PA = Polyamide Monofilament 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.

Options

Code A: Air Damping	Code M: Memory Pointer
This adjustable mechanical air dashpot is recommended for applications in which great fluctuations of the measured tension occur, as in spooling and winding machines. This assures steady tension readings on the scale.	Retains the highest measured value (PEAK). Available for mechanical tension meters.
