The natural frequency of a belt span is a function of the static tension, span length and belt span mass. The TC6 measures and displays the belt's natural frequency. Using the measured frequency in a simple formula determines the belt's static tension.
The TC6 uses an optical sensor to determine the belt's natural frequency, and therefore it can be used on belts made of non-ferrous (as well as ferrous) materials. The TC6 also comes standard with an RS232 port and software for downloading the measurements to a MS Excel spreadsheet.
