Dillon Clamp Line Tensiometer (CLT)
Dillon's Clamp Line Tensiometer, the CLTThe Model CLT clamp line tensiometer is offered in four capacities from 10,000 to 100,000 lb. It has 2 mV/V full scale sensitivity. Its clamp-on design permits it to be installed in minutes at any convenient point on a fixed position line. The CLT utilizes two roller bearing outer sheaves and a fixed center clamping point attached to a Dillon loadcell.
FEATURES

Installs in minutes -- Clamp-on design permits it to be easily installed at any convenient point on a fixed position line.

Four capacities -- Four standard capacities from 10,000 pounds (4,500 kg) to 100,000 pounds (45,000 kg).

Multiple uses -- Monitor cable in overhead lifting applications or guy wire applications, for example.

Simple design -- The instrument consists of two roller bearing ourter sheaves and a fixed center clamping point attached to a Dillon loadcell. The rope applies tension force to the loadcell.

Full range of pulley sizes available -- Correct pulley size must match both the size and type of rope to be monitored by the tensiometer. For greatest accuracy, your tensiometer will be calibrated specifically to the rope size you specify.

CLT Capacities and Specifications

A wide variety of sheave or pulley sizes (width and diameter) are available on the CLT. Correct pulley size is determined by the size and makeup of the rope to be monitored by the tensiometer. Each tensiometer is calibrated to a specific line size matched to the correct pulley size.
