Answer from Ningbo Changshi: A running line tension meter is a specific type of tension meter designed to be installed directly on the pulling line during a pull. It allows for continuous, real-time tension measurement without interrupting the operation.

The meter is typically a multi-sheave or multi-pulley device that is clamped onto the line. As the line runs through the meter, the force from the tension deflects a central wheel, and this deflection is measured and converted into a tension reading. This is particularly useful for:

• Long and complex pulls: It allows the operator to monitor how tension changes as the cable navigates bends, slopes, or long straight sections, providing immediate feedback on the impact of friction.

• Monitoring in real-time: It gives the winch operator the ability to make instant adjustments to the pulling speed or force to keep the tension within safe limits, which is vital for preventing cable damage.

Our running line tension meters are designed to be durable, accurate, and easy to install, providing our clients with a powerful tool for monitoring and controlling their most challenging pulls.
