Dead End Wireline Tension Monitor

Dead End Wireline Tension Monitor

Massload’s rugged and reliable industrial grade Dead-End Cable Tension Monitor “Deadline Sensor” clamps onto a fixed wire rope dead end creating a small cable deflection to monitor cable tension. It supports wire rope diameters from 0.75″ to 2.0″ and rope tension from 20,000 lbs to 100,000 lbs. Output options include cabled, wireless, 4-20mA, 0-10V, 0-5V, +/- 10V. Typically used as a safe overload indicator in applications such as oilfield wireline tension measurement. Made with the highest quality materials and fully manufactured in-house through our VCAP certified Quality Management System.

Highlights

  • Simple clamp-on design for tension measurement where a dead end is not available
  • Can attach to the middle of any cable
  • Can be moved easily to other wire rope as required
  • Industry standard 4-20mA signal
  • Quick disconnect connector to loadcell
  • Classified as a safety device rather than a weigh scale
  • 2 Year warranty

Crafted for precision and reliability, this Massload’s rugged and reliable industrial grade Dead-End Cable Tension Monitor “Deadline Sensor” offers a versatile solution for monitoring cable tension without a fixed dead end.

Engineered to securely clamp onto wire rope ends, it induces controlled deflection, allowing accurate and efficient tension measurement across wire diameters.

  • Accurate strain gauge measurement
  • Designed for all deadline tension, electronic sensing applications
  • Simple clamp-on design requires no deadline anchor
  • Environmentally sealed load cell operates in the harshest of environments
  • Easy to use
  • Installs on wire rope from 3/4″ to 2″ diameter
  • Electronics are protected from reverse wire hook up
  • Industry standard 4-20mA signal
