Precision instrument for measuring belt tension
A belt drive achieves its maximum lifetime when it is configured specifically to the application,
the belt is perfectly tensioned and the pulleys are precisely aligned.
The TRUMMETER is an electronic measuring instrument that consists of a measuring probe
and a microprocessor and is used for measuring the belt tension and checking the strand
force of a belt drive.
The measurement result is displayed either in hertz, newtons or poundforce.
This measured value can be compared with the nominal value – specified by the belt drive man-
ufacturer ( as a natural frequency in Hz or a strand force in N ). It is dependent on the character-
istics of the drive.
