Roller Tension Meter

Model RTM-243-10T

The SOSI Model RTM-243-10T Roller Tension Meter (RTM) is a shipboard device designed to simultaneously measure and display cable tension and total cable scope deployed. The device has a maximum line tension capacity of ten tons.

The RTM has three separate roller assemblies that are independently adjustable in height to provide flexibility for alignment with adjacent equipment such as stern chutes and cable traction machines. Guide rollers within each frame are arranged in arcs along the cable path with a radius of sixty in.. Cable guide pans designed to support slack cable and hinged access doors allow easy installation and removal of the cable. The system is ruggedly designed and easy to install on a dedicated vessel or platform of opportunity. The quality stainless steel parts, steel frame construction and epoxy finish provide long life even in the harshest marine environments.

Each Roller Tension Meter is supplied with a remote cable data display unit. This stainless steel NEMA 4X enclosure contains the digital cable tension and cable payout meters. The display box is equipped with a serial port allowing cable tension and payout data to be transmitted to a remote display or recording unit.
