GATES SONIC TENSION METER 508C

GATES SONIC TENSION METER 508C

Gates Logo

Correct belt installation tension is essential for optimum performance and reliability of multi-ribbed, V-belt and synchronous belt drives. The 508C sonic tension meter ensures simple and extremely accurate tension measurement by analysing sound waves from the belt through the sensor. It processes the input signals and displays the accurate tension measurement digitally. Gates’ tension meter is user-friendly: it is compact, computerised and stores data for repetitive use. Gates’ sonic tension meter measures belt tension accurately every time. It is supplied with a handy instruction manual.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

  • CORD SENSOR (PN 7420-00206)
    The cord sensor is recommended for measuring
    tensions at a distance from the tension meter.
  • INDUCTIVE SENSOR (PN 7420-00212)
    The inductive sensor is recommended for
    measurement particularly in noisy or windy
    environments. A steel clip to the back of the belt
    is required to measure the vibration frequency.
  • PACKAGE OFFERING (PN 7420-10508)
