TESTER & METER > CLAVIS > HANDHELD TENSION METER > TYPE 6 CLAVIS Belt Tension gauging and setting equipment is used throughout the world for accurate and repeatable measurements of belt tension. This equipment can be used on all types of rubber composition drive belts and is used and recommended by all the major belt manufacturers.   The correct tension in a drive belt is essential to maximise the life of the belt and the drive components. Slippage in timing belts due to the tension being too low can have catastrophic consequences. The CLAVIS hand held Beltmeter introduced in 1988 is a significant advance by applying acoustic principles to belt tension measurements. The meter produces readings which accurately reflect the tension in the belt consistently without any operator dependence. The device is in use throughout the world, both as a production tool for accurate belt tension setting, and as a quality control gauge. The CLAVIS belt tension meter is both approved and recommended by all of the major manufacturers of drive belts. The sensor head is a CLAVIS patented design and offers superior performance over any other meter of this type Method of use The equipment consists of a small sensing head which is held across the belt to be measured. The belt is then tapped to induce the belt to vibrate at its natural frequency. The unit is suitable for measuring tension in all types of power transmission belts, ranging from toothed timing belts, poly-vee belts, and simple vee belts. A general purpose sensor head is supplied, however a range of sensing hea ds of differing dimensions are available upon request.
