/ 5 Reviews :
Learn more about the SKF TKBT 10 frequency and tension meter. Proper drive belt tension is crucial for machine reliability, energy efficiency, and component service life. The SKF TKBT 10 is a portable belt tension meter that enables fast, accurate, and repeatable measurements in industrial environments.
What is TKBT 10?
TKBT 10 is a modern belt tension meter designed for maintenance teams, technical service providers and drive system installers. The instrument enables measurement of belt natural frequency (Hz) and calculation of belt tension force expressed in Newtons (N) or pound-force (lbf).
Profesjonalny, przenośny miernik napięcia pasów - SKF TKBT.
The SKF TKBT set includes a belt tension meter, short probe (TKBT 10-PS), AA batteries, QR code card and carrying case.
Applications – one instrument, multiple belt types.
The TKBT 10 can be used to measure the tension of:
- V-belts,
- timing belts (toothed belts),
- ribbed belts (multi-rib belts),
- drive belts,
- conveyor and transport belts.
This makes the device suitable for both manufacturing environments and internal transport systems.
Key features and benefits:
- accurate belt tension measurement in Hz and N / lbf,
- flexible probe neck enabling operation in confined spaces,
- intuitive user interface,
- memory for up to 750 measurements,
- zero-point calibration for improved measurement accuracy,
- lightweight and portable design – ideal for field use.
Optional accessories – even greater flexibility.
The TKBT 10 can be extended with additional accessories, such as a long probe designed for use in very tight and hard-to-reach spaces.
Why is proper belt tension so important?
Incorrect belt tension can lead to slippage, excessive wear, increased energy consumption, and premature failure of bearings and motors. Regular measurements using a device such as the SKF TKBT 10 significantly reduce these risks and improve machine reliability.
