Sanker U-508 Sonic Belt Tension Meter - Precise Non-Contact Measurement by China Suppliers and Factory
KEY FEATURES
High-Precision Acoustic Technology
The U-508 employs advanced sonic signal processing to measure belt tension with ±1% accuracy, significantly outperforming traditional mechanical gauges (typical error >5%). The device automatically filters out ambient noise interference.
Ultra-Wide Measurement Range
- Tension Range: 0.01 – 99,900 N
- Frequency Range: 10 – 5,000 Hz
Accommodates everything from delicate timing belts to heavy-duty industrial conveyor belts.
Smart Data Management
- 500 measurement records stored onboard
- 48 pre-loaded belt constants
- Max, min, and average value recording for comprehensive analysis.
Advanced Sensor Technology
Upgraded aerospace-grade induction probe with enhanced sensitivity. The flexible acoustic arm sensor (170 mm) provides optimal positioning in tight installations.
User-Centric Design
LCD screen with backlight, compact handheld form factor (160 × 59 × 26 mm), and selectable units (Hz, Lbs, N, Kg).
Extended Battery Life
Powered by standard AAA batteries for all-day field use without frequent recharging downtime.
HOW IT WORKS
The U-508 operates on the principle of transverse string vibration. When a belt is plucked, it vibrates at a specific natural frequency determined by its mass, tension, and length.
