Gates Sonic Tension Meter U550

The Sonic Tension Meter measures the vibration of the belt span and instantly converts the vibration frequency into belt static tension. This is the span vibration method of tensioning belts.

Description

Correct belt installation tension is essential for optimum performance and reliability of multi-ribbed, V-belt and synchronous belt drives. The U550 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

Flat flexible sensor – This comes in the free form of the flat shape with thickness 10mm and 20mm in width. Especially suitable for finding the right-angle direction in a particularly small place. (Total length is 170mm)

Long arm sensor – Entire arm length is 350mm. By using this sensor, it is possible to measure when the main body is hard to reach. (Sensor φ: 12.5mm)

Cord type sensor – Because the size of this sensor is a narrow path of φ 12.5mm, it is measurable by every place. (Entire arm length is 1m)

Electromagnetic sensor – This reacts to the electromagnetic vibration, unaffected by the background noise. The measurement is possible under the vibration decrement early. However, an application such as the pasting of a thin magnetic film or the magnetic paint is necessary for a measurement side in the case of a rubber belt. (Entire arm length is 1m)
