Correct belt installation tension is essential for optimum performance and reliability or multi-ribbed, V-belt and and synchronous belt drives. The 507C sonic tension meter ensures simple and extremely accurate tension measurement digitally.

Technical Characteristics

• Height 160mm x Depth 26mm x Width 59mm
• Uses 2x AAA Batteries
• Suitable for multi-ribbed belts, V-belts and synchronous belts
• Measurement range: 10Hz to 5,000 Hz
• Measure accuracy; +/- 1%
• LCD Screen Backlight
• Double display possible (Newton and/or Hz)
• Flexible sensor
• Cord sensor, inductive sensor and oscillator available on request
• Stores weight, width and span constants for up to twenty different drive systems
• Auto gain adjustment function automatically eliminates background noise
• To save energy, the device shuts off automatically after five minutes of inactivity
• CE approved
• RoHS compatible: the device complies with the European Directive (2002/EC on hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.

Optional accessories

Cord sensor

• The cord sensor is recommended for measuring tensions at a distance from the tension meter.

Inductive sensor

• 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.

Sonic tension meter calibrator – model U-305-OS1

• This special calibrator (oscillator) is available for the frequency test of the 507c sonic tension meter. This oscillator generates 5 types of oscillations (sine wave): 25, 90, 500, 2000 and 4000 Hz. It features a frequency accuracy of 0.1% or even lower.

NOTE: The Gates Sonic Tension Meter should never be used in explosive risk areas.
