Single stem spring loaded belt Tensiometer. Design to assist maintenence and installation engineers with the correct commissioning and maintaining v-belt drives.

Proper belt tensioning is one of the most important factors necessary for long, satisfactory operation. Too little tension will result in slippage, causing rapid belt and sheave wear as well as a loss of productivity. Too much tension can result in excessive stress on the belts, bearings and shafts. The Tensiometer uses a tensioning method based on the fact that the force required to deflect a given span length by a given amount is related to the tension in the belt. The single stem Tensiometer is capable of measuring force from 0-35 lbs. (0-15.9 kg.) and belt tension from 0-560 lbs. (0–255 kg.) on belts up to 1 inch in width.
