Infrared Belt Tension Tester (BTT IR 500 & BTT IR 800)
The Metrix+ BTT IR series consists of advanced infrared belt tension testers—model BTT IR 500 (up to 500Hz) and model BTT IR 800 (up to 800Hz)—designed for accurate mechanical strength testing of belts, wires, ropes, and tapes. Utilizing an infrared sensor and laser operating on the time of flight principle, the instrument calculates the natural vibrating frequency of the belt. This frequency value is utilized to determine belt tension via the formula $T = 4 \times m \times L^2 \times f^2$ by setting the mass and free belt length. Featuring a flexible split-type sensor optimized for narrow spaces, the instrument offers a modern, efficient alternative to traditional mechanical sensors.
- Dual Frequency Models: Available in BTT IR 500 (upto 500Hz) and BTT IR 800 (upto 800Hz).
- Advanced Sensor Design: Integrated and flexible laser sensor with a small, split-type sensor profile suited for narrow space measurements.
- Display & Usability: Equipped with a backlit digital display, low battery indication, and auto power-off functionality.
- Measurement Flexibility: Convertible measurement units across frequency, tension, mass, and length.
- Automobile industry (measuring tension of auxiliary belts fitted to motor vehicles and other machines)
- Textile manufacturing
- Cables, wires, and ropes testing
- Plastic films, paper, and printing industries
