Models Available to Measure up to 1,000 lb Tension In Flexible Cable Diameters as Large as .625"
Easy To Read Dials in lb or kg

The Model C-Series Cable Tension Meters are designed to measure static as well as slow-moving tensions in configurations such as: cable, wire, rope, guy wires, as well as narrow rectangular wire, bands, and straps. For dynamic tension measurement of line speeds in excess of 25 feet per minute, permanent mounting is advised.

  • Direct Reading Dials eliminate the need for reference tables.
  • Calibration is simple with the built-in micrometer adjustment.
  • Engagement and disengagement onto materials is quick and easy.

The C-Series cable tension meters are portable mechanical instruments which weigh approximately 6 lb and are made of non-corrosive materials. For instrument ranges 500 lb and lower, the meter width is 16.75". Higher range instruments have a maximum width of 19.75". Each instrument is provided with a sturdy polyethylene carrying case with dense foam inserts to protect the meter. Made in the U.S.A.

The diameter and rigidity of your cable constructions will determine the instrument best suited for the application, but the line speeds of your processes must also be considered. Although the cable tension meters are extremely versatile, it is not always possible to measure tension in all of your processes with one type of instrument (or one instrument model). Kindly contact one of our application engineers for help in selecting the right instrument for your specific application.
