Digital Cable Tension Meter
Model CX-Series

Indicate Cable Tension in Lbs, KG, or Newtons.

Digital Cable Tension Meters are used to measure tension(s) on cables. The Model CX series offers users utmost accuracy over a wide variety of cable sizes.

Data Logging has adjustable duration and sampling rates. Large, easy to read backlit, graphic display with adjustable backlighting and contrast.

  Select tension values to display in lbs, Kg, or Newtons.

  Select cable size from menu. Instrument automatically adjusts calibration for your specific setting.

  Accuracy is +/- 2% full-scale for all menu-selectable calibrations. Accuracy for custom calibrations is material specific

  Up to 10 calibrations can be programmed into instrument. (All calibrations password protected.)

  Adjustable LCD refresh rates allow for stable digital readings.

  All models typically available from stock.

  All models factory-calibrated and ready for use.

  Calibration values traceable to National Standards. Calibration certificate included.

Tensitron's Cable Tension Meters are designed for use on flexible materials with diameters up to ¾" (19mm). The diameter and rigidity of your cable constructions will determine the CX Model best suited for your application.

Wire Rope Constuctions are determined by the number of strands, and the number of wires per strand. For example, a 7 x 7 rope consists of 7 strands, and each strand is made with 7 wires.

Generally, any wire rope constructed from solid, single strands (for example; 1 x 6, 1 x 7 or 1 x 19) will be too stiff to allow accurate tension measurements using a tension meter. These types of non-flexible wire-rope constructions are widely used on standing rigging, such as communication towers and sail boat rigging. Excessively stiff cables will cause overloading and damage to the instrument.

7 x 7 and 7 x 19 constructions are used when flexibility in the cable is required. The CX-Series of digital tension meters are designed to measure tension on these types of cables.

The diameter and rigidity of your cable constructions will determine the instrument best suited for the application, but the line speeds of your processes must also be considered. Although the cable tension meters are extremely versatile, it is not always possible to measure tension in all of your processes with one type of instrument (or one instrument model).
