The patented DynaTension® portable tensiometer measures tension in cable, rope, belt, optical fiber - virtually any material that is subjected to load.
DynaTension® meters compute the corresponding tension more accurately than conventional load cells, piezo- electric devices or dynamometer spring deflection methods.
This meter operates by sensing the fundamental frequency of vibration between two fixed points.
DynaTension meters are user friendly
It doesn’t come any easier than this!

DynaTension® meters eliminate need for in-line installation, which allows normal operations to continue uninterrupted.
Our meter is simple to use, operating on a single rechargeable battery up to15 hours.
DynaTension® meters are proven worldwide, onshore and offshore. The durability opens up potential applications to include subsea, subsurface, air, and even the cosmos.
Today, the U.S. Navy’s entire fleet of aircraft carriers relies on DynaTension® meters to set critical tensions in aircraft elevators cables.
