Description
The TOMLIN TMI-RT Series digital clamp-on rope tension meters measure tension in installed flexible ropes and steel wire ropes without disconnecting them. Four models provide maximum capacities of 20, 50, 100 and 200 kN for power, telecommunications, construction and industrial maintenance applications.
Features
- Handwheel-operated clamp for direct measurement on an installed, tensioned rope.
- Backlit LCD with real-time and peak measurement modes.
- Save and recall measured readings.
- Selectable rope settings with automatic compensation.
- Configurable upper and lower limits, automatic power-off and local gravity setting.
- Rechargeable battery with 100–240 V charger input.
- RS232 interface; standard package includes the meter, charger, RS232 cable, software, aluminium case, adjustment key and user manual.
Available Models
| TOMLIN model | Maximum capacity | Standard rope diameter settings (mm) |
|---|---|---|
| TMI-RT-020 | 20 kN | 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 |
| TMI-RT-050 | 50 kN | 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 |
| TMI-RT-100 | 100 kN | 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34 |
| TMI-RT-200 | 200 kN | 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40 |
Each model has its own rope settings. The range covers 6–40 mm across multiple models; no single model covers the full diameter range. Tension measurement depends on rope construction and the correct rope setting and calibration.
