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.
Large-Capacity Digital Tension Force Gauges with Scale

Measure tension force as well as weight. These gauges come with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST that states they've passed a test for accuracy. All are NEMA 4X rated for protection from dust, water, and mild corrosives. They can be manually reset to zero and have a peak-hold setting that retains the highest reading on the display when activated. Also known as dynamometers.
