Correct belt installation tension is essential for optimum performance and reliability of multi-ribbed, V-belt and synchronous belt drives. The 507C sonic tension meter ensures a simple and extremely accurate tension measurement by analysing sound waves (natural frequencies) from the belt through the sensor. It processes the input signals and gives an accurate digital display of tension.

Gates tension tester is user-friendly: it is compact,  computerised and stores data for repetitive use. Gates sonic tension tester measures belt tension accurately every time.

It is supplied with a handy instruction manual.

Features

• Stores weight, width and span constants for up to twenty different drive systems.
• New auto gain adjustment function cancels out background noise automatically.
• Shuts off automatically after five minutes of inactivity, making it an energy-saving device.
• Measurement range: 10 Hz to 5000 Hz.
• Flexible sensor (cord and inductive sensor available on request).
• H 160 mm x D 26 mm x W 59 mm.
• Batteries: 2 x AAA.
• Suitable for V-belts, multi-ribbed belts and synchronous belts.
• CE approved.

Optional accessories

Cord sensor

The cord sensor is recommended for measuring tensions at a distance from the tension meter.

Inductive sensor

The inductive sensor is recommended for measurement particularly in noisy or windy environments. A steel clip to the back of the belt is required to measure the vibration frequency.

Sonic tension meter calibrator - model U-305-OS1

This special calibrator (oscillator) is available for the frequency test of the 507C sonic tension meter. This oscillator generates 5 types of oscillations (sine wave): 25, 90, 500, 2000 and 4000 Hz. It features a frequency accuracy of 0.1% or even lower.
