The belt tension gauge is an optical measuring maintenance tool for determining belt tension force. This belt tension measuring device consists of a display unit and a sensor head which is attached to a gooseneck. The belt tension measuring device measures the belt tension and the belt frequency of the belt when it is stationary. A small impulse on the belt, vertical to the tension direction, is suffi cient to set the belt vibrating. The belt tension measuring device measures the natural frequency of the belt with the sensor and visualizes it on the display. The belt tension gauge can directly determine the actual tension force of the belt from the belt frequency and the optionally entered belt length and belt mass. However, it is not absolutely necessary to enter this data in order to carry out measurements directly with the belt tension gauge. The graphic display of the belt tension gauge always shows the measured value as belt frequency in Hz. If the belt mass and length are entered in the device, the belt tension in Newton is also displayed. For further analysis and quality assurance purposes, the belt tension gauge is equipped with a memory. Up to 750 data records can be stored in the memory of the belt tension gauge in 15 sets of 50 measured values.
