How to choose a Aircraft cable tension meter for the tension measurement of aircraft control cables?

The wing control on many aircraft is driven and controlled by steel cables. After each control cable is installed, it must be adjusted to an appropriate tension to ensure the control effect. Generally, the diameter of the control wire on the aircraft is between 1-5.5mm. The measurement space on the plane is very limited, and the tension range of the wire rope is relatively large. The general requirement for accuracy is 2%FS. This requirement is very high for wire rope tension testers. It is recommended to use the AST series Aircraft cable tension meter produced by Shenyang BETTEN Technology Co., Ltd. The width of the measuring head is 90mm, and the thickness of the side head is less than 5mm, which can easily clamp the steel wire under test in a narrow space. The range of AST wire rope tension tester can reach 200KG, which fully meets the needs of aircraft wire rope tension test. The following are the basic technical parameters of the AST series.

AST series 

AST series aviation wire rope tension meter is suitable for measuring the tension of aviation control wire rope. One instrument can measure up to 10 wire ropes with different wire diameters. The tension range is from 0-10.00KG to 0-500.0KG.

Features:

1. The patented technology automatically resets the meter to zero , which improves the measurement accuracy and facilitates measurement.

2. LCD backlight display, the reading is clear and accurate.

3. Three block design, the middle block can be moved up and down, which is convenient to capture the tested wire.

4． The labor-saving pressure bar design make the measurement very easy even when the tension is up to 500KG. 

5. Rugged, non-slip aluminum case, resistant to electrical interference.

6. LIPO lithium-ion polymer battery (about 60 hours of continuous operation).

7. The material to be tested, the block, and the screen are on the same plane, and the data in the test, the status of the block and the material to be tested can be seen in full view 

8. A maximum of 10 materials can be accurately calibrated. 

9. character menu setting interface, easy to operate.

10.According to different ranges and needs, the measurement value display unit can be selected kg, N, daN, lb.

11. It can record the maximum value, minimum value, peak value and average value in the measurement process, and can also store 200 independent measurement values.

12. Programmable setting of the maximum and minimum value of the trend status bar, clearly determine the range of tension change, and have the advantages of mechanical instrument trend display.

13. Provides fine adjustment of display results. If There is a slight deviation between the material measured on site and the standard calibration material, and accurate values can be displayed without recalibration.

14. Function settings can be protected by passwords to improve setting security.

15. provides two display modes, taking into account the advantages of accurate electronic tensiometer reading and mechanical tensiometer trend display.
