Q1: What is a tension meter?
A1: A tension meter is a device used to measure tension in wires, cables, textiles, Mechanical belts, and more. Meters commonly use a 3-roller system where the material travels through the rollers causing deflection in the center roller that is connected to an analog indicator or load cell on digital models. Single-roll tension sensors and sonic tension meters are other types of tension meters. Tension may also be inferred from the frequency of vibration of the material under stress by solving the "Vibrating String Equation". Tension meters are available as handheld devices or as equipment for fixed installations. These are basically necessary to build up a tension-controlled closed loop.
Q2: What is the purpose of the tension meter?
A2: A tension meter is a device used to measure tension in wires, cables, textiles, Mechanical belts, and more. Meters commonly use a 3-roller system where the material travels through the rollers causing deflection in the center roller that is connected to an analog indicator or load cell on digital models.
Q3: How does a tension meter work?
A3: Tension meters measure the dynamic tension in a moving yarn and regulate the tension of the yarn on a winding machine. Tension sensors are dynamic tension devices. The piezoelectric element mounted on a flexible beam is the most important part of tension sensors.
Tips: How to calibrate the tension meter?
Calibration with 2-point type: When the tensiometer is not under any tension, adjust the reading of the tensiometer to point 0, then use a weight equivalent to 80% of the range of the tensiometer (such as the tensiometer range of 10 kg, then use a weight of 8 kg) or a weight slightly larger than the tension of the material, hang it below the measured material, then hang the other end of the measured material, at this time, the tension of the measured material that is the weight of the weight. At this point, the tension value of the tensiometer can be adjusted to the weight of the weight. In this way, the calibration of the tensiometer is completed.
