Tensitron Aircraft Cable Tensiometer - ACX-100

The Tensitron ACX-100 is a legacy digital cable tension meter for the 5 to 100 lb range, compatible with five fractional cable diameters from 1/16” to 5/32”. Facilities already standardized on this earlier-generation Tensitron platform can continue to use it for general aviation cable rigging and flight control tension verification.

Key Features

• Measurement Range: 5 – 100 lb
• Instrument Type: Digital (Legacy)
• Compatible Cable Diameters: 1/16”, 5/64”, 3/32”, 7/64”, 5/32”

Applications

• General aviation cable rigging in the 5–100 lb range
• Facilities maintaining existing legacy Tensitron tooling standardization
• Light aircraft flight control tension verification on fractional cable diameters
• FAR 43.13 / AC 43.13-1B compliant cable tension measurement and rigging inspection

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.
