Tension Meter - DX2

DX2 Series
10 ranges, 5-50 g to 5 -20 Kg

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.


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.




DX2's hard-coated aluminum, V-grooved rollers are rated for speeds up to 2000 m/min or, optionally, up to 5000 m/min.

Built-in material thickness compensator maximize accuracy when using filaments of different diameters.*

NIST calibration available

Air Damping (A) Lever (L) Memory Pointer (M)
An adjustable, precision air dashpot provides steady tension reading as tension fluctuate. A heavy duty, lever-operated mechanism moves the outer rollers for easy acquisition of the running filament. Recommended for models of 10 Kg or higher. Designed to retain the peak value as tensions fluctuate. Manually reset by using the knob located in the center of the  dial.
