General Purpose Digital Tension Meter
2 Ranges up to 500 g / cN
For a yarns, fibers, and fine wires
2 capacities, 200 or 500 grams / cN
The ZED Digital Tension Meter is designed for simple and accurate tension measurement on yarns, fibers, and fine wires. A trigger-operated roller shifting mechanism makes it easy to acquire the running material, a large backlit color display offers 3 display modes and auto-rotation to allow for easy viewing in any measuring orientation.
The ZED features 3 ball-bearing mounted small diameter rollers for measuring in hard-to-access locations. Optional rollers are available for high-speed applications. The ZED automatically "zeroes" the display using a special position sensor.
