The tension meter is an instrument that measures the tightness of wires and strips, such as yarn, steel wire, copper wire, cable, steel cable, film, bundled material, aluminum foil, etc., in static or dynamic conditions. It can provide accurate and quantitative tightness parameters for the production process to ensure that the tension remains stable or reaches the required value.

The basic working principle of a rope tension meter is determine the tension of a rope or cable by measuring the pulling force on it. Its core components usually include sensors and display modules. The sensor is responsible for capturing the tension data on the rope in real time, converting it into an electrical signal, and finally presenting the value to the user through the display module.

The most common types of rope tension meters are mechanical and electronic. Mechanical tension meters use the principle of levers to determine the tension of a rope by measuring its displacement. In contrast, electronic tension meters provide more accurate measurements through changes in the resistance of the sensor or the effect of strain.
