The RON dynamometer scale, load cell, and overload detector series are very lightweight and therefore portable.
They are available in small carrying cases, have disposable batteries for 2000 hours use and are convenient for working on-site.
This special feature enables the RON dynamometer scales and load cells to enjoy a significant advantage in the portable use market segment for all those applications that involve frequent carrying of systems, working on-site, etc., and especially in the tensile test applications segment.
For example, electricity companies worldwide use RON dynamometers for cable and wire tension testing as the lightweight systems enable electricity poles to be climbed easily and safely.

Another advantage of the RON dynamometer and tension pull scale series is the systems' standard remote display which increases safety and comfort during the tensile test as it enables the results to be read from a safe distance. |

The same need to reach optimal cable tension also exists in other applications where optimal tensioning is important for stabilization of structures.
For example: Suspension bridges and structures that are stabilized and supported by guy wires.
HOW TO CHECK TENSION IN A CABLE
Cable load meters require features that will make them suitable for
working on-site and especially for measuring and controlling cable tension.

Controlled Cable Tensioning
A tension test for measuring cable tension in overhead electricity and communication lines is very important because of environmental influences that often affect the cable length. Changes in cable length obviously alter cable tension and may eventually lead to cable failure.
