Belt tension meter PCE-BTM 2000 
Belt tension meter for quick and accurate measuement of belt tension
Memory of 750 measured values / graphic display / easy operation / measuement in Hz and N

The belt tension meter is an optical measuring instrument for determining the belt tension. This belt tension gauge consists of a display unit and a sensor on a gooseneck. The belt tension meter measures the tension of the belt when it is at rest. A small impulse with the help of a mallet is enough to make the belt vibrate. The belt tension meter measures the natural frequency of the belt with a sensor beam and visualizes it on the display. Furthermore, the belt tension meter can directly determine the tension force of the belt from these measured data and the entered belt length and belt mass. However, it is not mandatory to enter these data in order to carry out measurements directly with the belt tension meter. The units of measurement of the belt tension meter can be switched: you can select either N (SI unit) or pound-force (US unit). The graphic display of the belt tension meter shows the measured value in Hz. If the belt mass and length are entered, the span force is also displayed in Newton. The intuitive graphic menu is visualised on the high-contrast display of the belt tension meter in 6 selectable languages. The belt tension meter has a memory for further analysis and quality assurance purposes. Up to 750 data sets can be saved to the memory of the belt tension meter. The memory comprises 15 folders with enough space for 50 measured values each.

Why measure the belt force
Belt measurements are necessary  whenever optimum maintenance of machines and systems is important. A belt drive only achieves its maximum service life if it is tailored to its specific application. This means that the belt is optimally tensioned and the pulleys are precisely aligned. With the help of the belt tension gauge, the tension force (trum force) can be determined exactly when the belt is standing still.
