Digital Tension Meter
 

  
The New CHECK-LINE® models ZEF and ZED employ a strain-gauge system for accurately measuring the running line tensions on a wide variety of yarns, fibers and fine wires. Its trigger-operated roller shifting mechanism makes it easy to acquire the running material. Single-button automatic zero permits operation in any orientation while maintaining highest accuracy.

    ZEF Models ZED Model

    Miniature rollers make these models ideal for delicate yarns/fibers and fine wires as well as those applications where access space is limited.

    For Spandex and similar materials, specifiy model ZEF-100-T.

    		 This model is recommended for all other applications where miniaturized rollers are not necessary.

    Notes
    1. All models can be calibrated in cN. Replace suffix "G" with suffix "CN". Example: ZED-500-CN
    2. ZEF models are calibrated using a 0.12mm diameter monofilament. ZED models are calibrated using a 0.2mm diameter monofilament.
    3. Custom calibration with customer-supplied samples is optionally available. Inquire.
