Air Damping (A) (for tension range from 20 - 400 g up to max. 400 - 5000 g) This adjustable mechanical air dashpot is recommended for applications in which great fluctuations of the measured tension occur, as in spooling and winding machines. This assures steady tension readings on scale.

Memory Pointer (M) Designed to retain the peak value as tensions fluctuate. Manually reset by using the knob located in the center of the dial.
