Tensitron Mechanical Cable Tensiometer - ACM-200

The Tensitron ACM-200 is a mechanical cable tension meter covering 20 to 200 lb, designed for field use where battery-free operation is essential. Its all-mechanical design eliminates electronics failure modes in harsh environments, and its compact 8.24” × 3.38” body maneuvers easily in tight rigging access areas on a wide range of aircraft cable sizes from 1/16” to 1/4”.

Tensitron Calibration

• PJi operates an A2LA-accredited ISO/IEC 17025 Calibration Lab and provides NIST-traceable calibration for Tensitron instruments at the time of purchase, add calibration to your order at checkout.
• Our calibration documentation satisfies FAA Part 145 tool control requirements, ISO 9001 quality system records, and AS9100 calibration traceability requirements.
• For repair stations and quality-certified facilities that require documented traceability, PJi is the one-stop source: the instrument and the calibration certificate in a single transaction.
• Calibration-only companies cannot sell you the instrument. Major retailers cannot calibrate it. PJi does both.
• Keep your instrument in compliance: PJi offers annual recalibration services to maintain NIST-traceable accuracy and satisfy ongoing FAA tool control and quality system requirements. Contact PJi to schedule recurring recalibration.
