Tension Meter - Z

Z Series
ZD2 & ZF2

Precision movement and light-weight, hard plastic housing makes the Type Z Series ideal for accurately checking the operating or static tensions of a wide variety of process material including delicate yarns, fibers, filaments, wires, etc.


A trigger-operated, roller-shifting mechanism and exclusive snare-guide automatically guide the moving filament into the roller V-grooves eliminating breaks and snags.

Front filament loading permits the operator to observe the filament, rollers and dial at all times.

Each instrument is individually calibrated with each scale hand marked to provide the highest reading accuracy





ZF2 roller guides are rated for speeds up to 900 m/min or, optionally, up to 2000 m/min.

Z
D2 roller guides are rated for speeds up to 2000 m/min or, optionally, 5000 m/min.

Supplied in an attractive foam-fitted carrying case.

NIST calibration available

ZF2 Models

Miniaturized rollers make these models ideal for delicate fibers, low tension or when access space is limited.


ZD2 Models

Recommended for all other applications where miniaturized rollers are not needed.
