Precision movement and light-weight, hard plastic housing makes the Type Z Series ideal for accurately checking the operating or static tensions of a wide variety of process material including delicate yarns, fibers, filaments, wires, etc.

Features

  • A trigger-operated, roller-shifting mechanism and exclusive snare-guide automatically guide the moving filament into the roller V-grooves eliminating breaks and snags.
  • Front filament loading permits the operator to observe the filament, rollers and dial at all times.
  • NIST-Traceable calibration available
  • ZF2 roller guides are rated for speeds up to 900 m/min or, optionally, up to 2000 m/min.
  • Each instrument is individually calibrated with each scale hand marked to provide the highest reading accuracy
  • Supplied in an attractive foam-fitted carrying case.

Applications


ZF2 Models

Miniaturized rollers make these models ideal for delicate fibers, low tension or when access space is limited.


ZD2 Models


Recommended for all other applications where miniaturized rollers are not needed.
