    Economy Tension Force Gauges for Wire

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Force Gauges. Economy Tension Force Gauges for Wire.
    Measure the tension of wire or cable. First, determine your wire’s diameter with the notches on the side of these gauges. Then, insert the wire between the two nylon rollers on the bottom and the slot on top to get a needle reading. Using the table on the handle, convert the reading into a tension measurement relative to your wire’s diameter.

    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.

    Feeder Reels

    Coiler Reels

    Feeder Reels—Feeder reels hold material before it's threaded through a counter. Wind material around adjustable pins on the reel, or place spooled material on the 1/2" diameter spindle.
    Coiler Reels—Coiler reels gather material once it has passed through a counter. These reels have a hand crank and collapse for storage.
