Belt Tension Meter Market Outlook, Competitive Insights and Applications Analysis till 2025
The belt tension meter measures the natural frequency of vibration of a belt span. This frequency is straight related to the tension in the belt. As the tension in the belt is increased the frequency of vibration also increases. The belt is forced into vibration by quietly tapping or plucking it. The vibration is frequently not visible and also inaudible. The force/displacement type tension gauges were known to be clumsy, inaccurate, and in many cases difficult to use. The gauge thus became the automotive industry standard to measure belt tension. Hence, the equipment uses the same principle for automated belt setting on elevated speed automotive engine production lines. A tension meter is a gauging device used to calculate tension in wires, cables, textiles, belts, and more. Meters commonly use a 3 roller system where the material travels through the rollers causing deflection in the center roller that is connected to an analog indicator or load cell on digital models.
