This selector is dedicated to the TX series for fine strands and narrow materials. Tell us how your process operates and the tension you need to measure. You do not need to know a model name to begin.
Are you measuring EDM wire?
Electrical discharge machining (EDM) uses a dedicated wire configuration. Select Yes for an EDM wire recommendation, or No to continue with other fine strands and narrow materials.
How does the process normally run?
Continuous, high-speed winding and processing may benefit from permanent in-line monitoring in addition to portable tension measurements.
What tension range do you normally run?
Enter the minimum and maximum operating tension in grams. The selector uses your maximum tension to suggest a TX range. Final selection also depends on material size and calibration.
