What Material Are You Measuring?

From Narrow Bands to Wide, Flat Materials

The BTX and WX series measure tension in flat materials. The selector uses your material details and operating tension to guide you toward a meter family and measurement range.

BTX Tension Meters

For Belts, Bands & Tape

BTX meters measure tension in narrow, flat materials, moving or stationary. Calibration is tailored to the material being measured.

Typical materials include:
Flat drive belts, nylon bands, seat belts, narrow poly webbing, and wide tape.
WX Tension Meters

For Fabric, Film & Wide Materials

WX meters measure tension in wide, flat materials, moving or stationary. Material dimensions and operating tension guide the model selection.

Typical materials include:
Fabric, paper, film, plastic sheets, metal foils, and conveyor belts.
You do not need to know whether you need BTX or WX. Start with your material details and normal operating tension. The selector provides a starting recommendation, with specialist review available for applications outside standard capabilities.
