Dillon Running Line Tensiometer (RLT)
Dillon's Running Line Tensiometer or RLT The For measuring tension on running wire cable, Dillon offers the Model RLT, the Running Line Tensiometer, in eleven capacities from 20 pounds to 40,000 pounds.
Features

Provide customers with installation records -- A tensiometer system with a Dillon force indicator and printer provides documentation of installation process. You can demonstrate that your installation has met the standards agreed to by installer, cable supplier and customer.

Control installations -- A Tensiometer system lets you continuously monitor cable installations. Get instant readings of applied force, current peak, total distance traveled, rate of travel.

Automatic protection -- Linked to a Dillon Force Indicator with cutoff capability, the tensiometer assures that the tension exerted on the cable will never exceed manufacturer's specifications. As tension approaches the pre-set limit, the pulling mechanism shuts down.

Full range of capacities -- Dillon offers eleven standard capacities from 20 pounds to 40,000 pounds. Higher capacities are available on request.
 
 

Capacities and Specifications

A wide variety of sheave or pulley sizes (width and diameter) are available on the RLT. 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. RLTs through 1,000 lb capacity are equipped with steel pulleys. Capacities of 4,000 lb and over are supplied with Nylatron pulleys as standard. Steel pulleys can be supplied on a special basis.
