ACX-SERIES DIGITAL AIRCRAFT CABLE TENSION METER
Digital Aircraft Cable Tension Meters measure tension(s) precisely over a wide variety of cable sizes.
Indicate Cable Tensions in Lbs, KG, or Newtons.
Small space access. One-hand operation. Memory storage features.
- Display shows tension, battery charge level, name of calibration selected, and stores and displays up to 5 separate tension readings and their average.
- Large, easy to read backlit, graphic display with adjustable backlighting and contrast.
- Select cable size from menu. Instrument automatically adjusts calibration to correct setting.
- Accuracy is +/- 2% full-scale for all menu-selectable calibrations. Accuracy for custom calibrations is material specific.
- Up to 10 calibrations can be entered into instrument. (All calibrations password protected to provide due diligence).
- Adjustable LCD refresh rates allow for stable digital readings.
- All models typically available from stock.
- All models factory-calibrated and ready for use on aircraft.
- Calibration values traceable to National Standards. Calibration certificate included.

*Calibrations for 3/16", 7/32" and for metric sized cables can be added to the cable selection menu upon request, however cables with diameters larger than 5/32" will only indicate up to approximately 90% of maximum tension range. For example, an instrument scaled for a maximum tension range of 250 lbs will display readings up to approximately 225 lbs on 7/32" or 3/16" diameter cables.
