Description
The sensor is used for tension measurement
•  on pretensionend textile ropes in open and closed Force Systems
•  at very high forces

CableBull® TEXter® is the technical innovation
               for mobile tension measurement in Closed Force Systems (CFS).



Exact tension measurement in CFS with handheld equipment is up to now not possible and
typically afflicted with high measuring errors.
(Already a small change of the geometry in CFS causes a marked variation of tension.)
The unique conception of Honigmann TEXter® fulfills this complicated measurement job.

CableBull® TEXter® first-time enables engineers precise measurements in CFS, 
with very easy handling:
  - take CableBull® TEXter® to measuring position

  - turning the lock-lever 180°

  - measuring

Applications
Tension measurement:
•  moving ropes
•  overhead cables / open wires
•  ropes for shipping
•  ropes for fishing
•  towing ropes and belts

Range of application:
•  equalise loadings on multi-cable assemblies
•  event rope technology
•  industry applications
•  ship rigging / rig
•  towing of loads
•  transportation lock
•  vehicle pull and logging

Special features
•  minimal sensor influence on the tension by smallest deflection angle
   (thus avoiding a damage of the rope)
•  independent of material diameter
   (individual calibration of each material diameter is not necessary)
•  hardened steel rollers with special DRR-shape of running surface (Dual Radius Roller)
•  high resolution and precision
