BTT IR 500 Belt Tension Tester

Laser sensor, split type flexible probe, measure frequency upto 500Hz and belt tension, units N/ lb/ kg, useful for belts of motors, machines, etc.

Features:

§  Two models BTT IR 500(upto 500Hz) and BTT IR 800(upto 800Hz)

§  Integrated and flexible laser sensor, being easier and faster than mechanical sensor

§  Flexible split type sensor is small, helpful for measurement in narrow space

§  Convertible measurement units

§  Backlit display


Applications:

Belt tension testers test the tension of belts, wires, ropes, tapes, etc, as a means of mechanical strength test. Widely useful in automobile, textile, cables, wires, plastic films, paper, printing, etc. It can be used to measure the tension of auxiliary belts fitted to motor vehicles and other machines.

 

Measuring Principle:

This has an infrared sensor and laser, which calculates the natural vibrating frequency of the belt, using time of flight principle for laser. The frequency value can be used to measure the tension of the belt using the formula, T=4xmxL2xf2, setting the mass and free belt length.
