    Tension Force Gauges for Wire and Filament

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Force Gauges. Tension Force Gauges for Wire and Filament.
    Measure the tension of wire and filament without pausing your operation. These gauges are often used to set tension and take continuous readings in 3D printing, spooling, wire cutting, and drawing machines. They can also be used with thin wire rope, carbon fiber, and fiber-optic strands. Slide your material between the three rollers to take measurements, even in tight spaces. All include a calibration certificate traceable to NIST that states these gauges meet standards for accuracy. They include a case for storage and protection.
