V-belts slipping or rolling over in pulley grooves? Synchronous belts stripping teeth or skipping teeth? Gates 550C Sonic Tension Meter can eliminate these problems.
Do you need to establish a specific drive belt tension for your machine applications? Then reach for the Gates 550C sonic tension meter and determine the degree of loads and
tension of your belt installations immediately and with utmost precision.
Applicable to a V-belt, a multi ribbed belt or a synchronous belt, the device analyses sound waves from the belt through the sensor and delivers you the accurate tension measurement without delay, which is essential for the optimum performance and reliability of your belt drives. Belt pretension data can be determined by using Gates DesignFlex™ Pro™ Drive design software, available at www.GatesAustralia.com.au/DriveDesign.
The Gates 550C sonic tension meter ensures a smooth user experience including an easier reading of data thanks to its high definition OLED display. The device is compact, convenient to use and precise.
