A precise jeweled movement, choice of ball bearing mounted rollers and rugged cast aluminum housing makes the DX2 ideal for the toughest production floor application.
Built-in mounting holes permit fixed installation for continuous in-line use.
Built-in material thickness compensator maximizes accuracy when using filaments of different diameters. (Standard on model DX2-SP and higher ranges)
- NIST-Traceable calibration available
- Thumb-operated, roller shifting mechanism and exclusive snare-guide automatically guides the moving filament into the V-grooves eliminating breaks and snags.
- Front filament loading permits the operator to observe running material, rollers and dial face at all times.
- V-Grooved Hardcoat Anodized Aluminum rollers for material speeds up to 2000 meters/min
- Optional “K” Bearings for 3000 meters/min or Ultra-High Speed Rollers for 5000 meters/min
- DX2’s are individually calibrated for highest accuracy.
- DX2’s hard-coated aluminum, V-grooved rollers are rated for speeds up to 2000 m/min or, optionally, up to 5000 m/min.
- Water Resistant model available with nickel plated axles, sealed bearings, splash guard, sealed housing, drainage holes and more
- Finger Support: We recommend mounting a finger support for higher tension ranges (included)

Calibration to customized material:
If process material differs significantly from the standard calibration material in diameter, rigidity or shape, special calibration using customer supplied samples is recommended. For this purpose a material sample of about 15 ft. should be supplied.

Options
| Air Damping (A) An adjustable, precision air dashpot provides steady tension reading as tension fluctuate. Available on DX2-12 (20 – 120g) thru DX2-500 (400-5000g) |
 |
| Lever (L) A heavy duty, lever-operated mechanism moves the outer rollers for easy acquisition of the running filament. Recommended for models of 10 Kg or higher. |
 |
| Memory Pointer (M) Designed to retain the peak value as tensions fluctuate. Manually reset by using the knob located in the center of the dial. |
