RTMe-5T - 5 Ton / 50 Kn / 11,000 lb
RTMe-20T - 20 Ton / 200 Kn / 44,000 lb
Max Cable Diameter - 1.5" / 38mm
The RTMe cable tension meter is specially designed for measuring tension in cables such as guy wires, support cables, and electrical conductors. The RTMe can be placed directly on the cable for real-time tension measurement and guidance for adjustment.
RTMe operation is simple, clip it to the rope to be tested and use the large hand screw to deflect the rope to a fixed angle. The resultant force will then affect the load cell and it will measure the tension in the wire rope. The tension is in kN, tonnes, lbs, DaN, USt, and other common units.
The RTMe can be used to measure tension forces up to 20 metric ton and for wire ropes with a diameter up to 38 mm, up to 20 different wire rope dimensions/types can be stored in the memory.
Function
| The RTMe is very simple and handy to use. Attach the RTMe to the rope and tighten the screw, then read the measured value directly in the display. | Multipoint measuring – easy to store up to six values for a quick overview. | Easily toggle between readout in kN, tonne, lbs, DaN, or USt. |

Safety The RTMe can temporarily be overloaded by 100% of its nominal capacity without affecting the accuracy.
The RTMe is delivered in a robust and light weight transport case (760 x 400 x 170 mm) for easy handling and protection of the instrument.
