PCE-BTM 2000A: Belt Tension Meter
DESCRIPTION
The belt tension meter is an optically measuring
maintenance tool for determining the belt tension force. This belt tension
meter consists of a display device and a sensor head attached on a
semi-flexible gooseneck. The advantage of the gooseneck is that the sensor head
can be flexibly positioned. Due to the mobility of the gooseneck, the sensor
can measure the strand force even in hard to reach places. The belt tension
measuring device measures the belt tension (in Newton) and the belt frequency
(in Hz) of the belt in the stationary state.
A small impulse on the belt is
sufficient to set the belt vibrating. The belt tension meter measures with the
sensor the natural frequency of the belt generated in this way and visualizes
it on the display. The belt tension meter can directly determine the actual
tension (in Newton / Pound Force) of the belt from the belt frequency combined
with the optionally entered belt length and belt mass. However, entering this
data is not necessarily required in order to carry out the measurements
directly with the belt tension measuring device. The measurement units in the
device can be switched between N (SI unit) and pound force (US unit).
The reading is always shown as
the belt frequency in Hz on the display of the belt tension measuring device.
The intuitive graphic menu is visualized on the high-contrast display of the
belt tension measuring device in six different languages. Up to 750 data
records can be stored in the memory of the belt tension measuring device. The
belt tension measuring device is delivered completely ready for use. The scope
of delivery includes the handheld device, the standard sensor with gooseneck, a
magnetic holder, batteries and operating manual. To increase the flexibility
during the measurement, the following items are optionally available to the
belt tension meter: an external sensor head with a spiral cable, a device hard
case, a frequency mallet and a tripod.
