Running Line Tensiometer
HMM-Hytech Running Line Tensiometers: High-Precision Tension Monitoring for Dynamic Lines
HMM-Hytech is the brand for a line of advanced Running Line Tensiometers, manufactured in India by Hytech Micro Measurement Private Limited. These instruments are engineered to provide precise, real-time measurement of the tension in moving ropes, wires, or cables without interrupting their operation. By accurately monitoring the load on lines during various industrial applications, our tensiometers are crucial for preventing overstressing, ensuring safe load limits, and protecting valuable equipment and personnel.
Principles of Running Line Tensiometers
A Running Line Tensiometer is a non-invasive device designed to measure tension in a dynamic line. It typically consists of a three-wheel system: a central measuring wheel and two outer guide wheels. The moving line passes over the central wheel, which is connected to a highly sensitive load cell. As the line's tension changes, the load cell measures the resulting force on the central wheel. This force is then converted into a precise electronic signal, which is processed and displayed on a clear, rugged monitor. This system provides operators with instant, continuous feedback, which is vital for managing operations safely and efficiently.
