DX2

Dial Wire Tension meter

This wire tensiometer with durable mechanical structure, suitable for spinning, fiber and wire industries, multi-functional and multiple applications. The world's best-selling tensiometer. DX2-ETM type is more popular in the wire cutting industry to maintain cutting quality.
Features
Universal mechanical tension meter for versatile applications in textile, fibre and wire industry. Versatile useable tension meter. Application area in textile industry: e. g. 25 up to max. 20000 tex. Application area in wire industry: e. g. 0.05 up to max. 1.7 Ø mm copper wire.

Best selling tension meter worldwide

The analog display shows changing and fluctuating tensions fast and enables an optimal process adjustment. The built-in material thickness compensator compensates different material diameters for a particular range (only DX2-1000 and higher ranges).

Filament guide and roller shifting mechanism ensure easy acquisition of the running material. Hand-held unit with built-in mounting holes permit fixed installation for continuous tension measurement. Special finger support located on the rear side reduces the effort to move the outer roller assembly. Finger Support: We recommend mounting a finger support for higher tension ranges. Custom-built configurations and special calibration are available
