Belt Tension Meter PCE-BTM 2000A

Portable meter for checking and recording belt tension during shutdown, designed for industrial maintenance, quality control, and adjustments on conveyor belts and applications with belt drives. Uses an optical sensor connected to a semi-rigid probe that detects the frequency associated with belt tension and calculates the tension force.

Key features:

• Measurement range: 10–900 Hz.
• Precision: ± (1% of the value + 4 digits).
• Repeatability: ±1 Hz.
• Resolution: <100 Hz: 0.1 Hz; >100 Hz: 1 Hz.
• Maximum supported belt length: 9,999 m.
• Maximum belt mass (per unit length): 9,999 kg/m.
• Internal memory: 750 values; 15 files with 50 points each, ideal for periodic records and comparative analysis.
• Multilingual menu: includes Spanish, German, English, French, Dutch, and Italian.
• Power supply: 3 x 1.5 V (AAA) batteries.
• Operating conditions: 0 … +50 °C, relative humidity up to 95%.
• Storage conditions: -20 … +65 °C, up to 95% relative humidity.
• Dimensions: 150 × 80 × 38 mm.
• Approximate weight: 200 g (batteries included).

Content of supply:

• 1 belt tension meter
• 1 standard head
• 1 magnetic support
• 3 x 1.5 V (AAA) batteries
• 1 carrying case
• 1 instruction manual

Advantages for companies:

• Handheld, lightweight, and easy-to-carry instrument for field interventions.
• Data recording and file management facilitate traceability and maintenance documentation.
• Multilingual interface simplifies use by international teams.
• Included accessories (head and magnetic support) allow quick and repeatable measurements on various belt types and locations.

Typical applications:

• Maintenance and adjustment of belts in production plants and assembly lines.
• Verification of tensioning in HVAC equipment, agricultural machinery, light vehicles, and belt conveyor systems.
• Quality control during installation and commissioning of belt drives.

Note: The instrument measures tension based on frequency detected by the optical sensor; refer to the manual for recommended measurement procedures and to convert frequency readings to tension values according to belt type.
