The RTMB tension meter is designed to measure tension of carbon fiber, tape and other narow web materials. Cylindrical rollers are offered in 7, 10, 15, 20 and 30 mm lengths to measure tapes, bands, films and similar materials. Roller length should not exceed 2x the width of the material being measured.

RTMX / BTMX Additional Features

  • Built-in datalogging with RS232 and 0-1 VDC Analog output
  • Memory capacity of 100 values plus min, max, peak, avg and standard deviation
  • Optional TensionView software available for batch download or continuous real-time trending

Features

  • Roller shifting mechanism ensures easy acquisition of the running material
  • Cylindrical rollers pointing toward the operator
  • Dual-flanged outer guide rollers (single-flanged rollers optional, recommended if the material being measured is wider than the tape roller)
