Sanker U-508 Sonic Belt Tension Meter – Precision Belt Measurement from 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. It filters out ambient noise for reliable data in noisy environments.
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 conveyor systems.
Smart Data Management
Stores 500 measurement records and 48 pre-loaded belt constants. Features max, min, and average value recording for comprehensive analysis.
Advanced Sensor Technology
Aerospace-grade induction probe with enhanced sensitivity. The 170mm flexible acoustic arm provides optimal positioning in tight spaces.
User-Centric Design
Backlit LCD screen, lightweight handheld form (160×59×26mm), and multi-unit output (Hertz, Pounds, Newtons, or Kilograms).
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 natural frequency determined by its mass, tension, and span length.
BELT COMPATIBILITY
- V-belts (wrapped, raw-edge, cogged)
- Synchronous (timing) belts
- Poly-V (multi-ribbed) belts
- Banded (joined) belts
- Power transmission belts
