The 136-2 features a spring-loaded handle, which eliminates errors, caused by uneven pressure applied by operators. It makes taking measurements as simple as pressing the sensor gently on the web until the handle reaches the mechanical stop. Ball-bearing mounted rollers support the measurement head at speeds up to 1000 m/min. For higher speeds, a low friction ceramic-coated stabilizing plate is offered.
Not only does the 136-2 measure static and dynamic web tensions, but it also makes it possible to compare the tension in different parts of the web. The rugged 136-2 is fabricated from Stainless Steel and is water-resistant and rustproof, ensuring trouble-free use even in wet environments. The tension value is displayed on either the D485 Digital Tension Indicator or TM353 Analog model. The indicators can be mounted together with the sensor or used separately connected with a cable.
- Water-resistant design for use on the "wet end" of the papermaking machine
- Roller version for web speeds up to 1000 m/min (3200 Ft/min)
- Slider-Plate version for material speeds over 1000 m/min (3200 Ft/min)
- Handling Constanter for defined pressing force - independent of the user
- 1-Hand version with Tension Indicator mounted on the Sensor
- 2-Hand version with Tension Indicator separate from sensor for convenient viewing

136-2 Models are supplied in a rugged aluminum carrying case with custom fitted foam inserts to store, protect and help transport your 136-2 tension meter.
