TMconnect belt tension measuring device

About this product

Ensures the correct pre-tension force

The correct pre-tension force has a significant influence on the operating behaviour and lifetime of the entire belt drive. It is one of the very few measurement variables that can be set by the operator himself. That’s why it is highly recommended to set and check the pretension force of the belt with the TMconnect belt tension measuring device.

The TMconnect measuring device allows quick and easy measuring of the belt pre-tension. It is all electronic and equipped with cutting-edge microprocessor technology. This guarantees easy handling and highest measuring accuracy. Measuring is possible for all v-belts, timing-belts and flat belts in the frequency range from 10 to 600 Hz.

Due to the acoustic measurement principle the type, colour and composition of the belts does not influence the measurement results. The principle of forced vibration applies. If a pulse is transmitted to the belt, it vibrates at first with all types of oscillations, while the high frequency oscillations are damping faster than the fundamental oscillation.

The frequency of the fundamental oscillation is directly proportional to the pre-tension force. This means that the higher the frequency, the higher the pre-tension force on the belt.

The device is calibrated during the final inspection. Usually there is no requirement for any additional calibrations. In case of further mandatory calibrations due to internal guidelines we offer a so called manufacturer‘s calibration.

Here the device is checked by means of defined measuring points within the measuring range. The results are confirmed in a calibration record.

• The TMconnect measuring device is not approved respectively certified to be used within potentially explosive application areas • Protect the device against dust and contamination • Do not drop the device. Shocks of any kind can cause damages • Do not allow water, solvents or other fluids to come into contact with the device. Also please do not use any volatile solvents for cleaning • Do not expose the device to high temperatures or direct sunlight (for example storage in a car)
