CTM-ELV / 4 / 6 / 8 rope balance

Elevator Cable Tension Meters & Balancing Kits

Compare traction-rope loads with a portable meter or a synchronized multi-channel balancing arrangement.

Sequential or multi-channel conceptual measurement arrangement — Measurement concept only. Released product photos, drawings and configuration data are supplied with an agreed offer.

START WITH YOUR ROPE

Cable diameter × tension capacity

Planning envelopes across each family. A single model does not cover every diameter and load combination. Confirm the exact rope profile, range and calibrated accuracy in your quotation.

Model family	Supported cable diameter	Tension capacity envelope	Accuracy	Operation mode
CTM-ELV	6–19 mm / 0.236–0.748 in	Up to 20 kN per rope / 4,496 lbf / 2,039 kgf	Target ±1.5–2% FS; subject to rope-specific validation	Sequential or multi-channel

MEASUREMENT WORKFLOW

Sequential or multi-channel: define the installation first

Fix the measurement position and operating condition, label each rope, collect comparable readings, then adjust and recheck using the approved service procedure.

The requested <5% imbalance target is a project criterion, not a universal maintenance standard. Use the elevator manufacturer’s acceptance method.

Before specifying CTM-ELV

Will one calibration cover all rope sizes?

No. Different diameters and constructions require appropriate profiles and contact geometry. Provide the complete cable list and request a calibration scope for each combination.

How do we confirm the quoted accuracy?

Agree the range, error definition, reference instrument, rope condition, load points and acceptance limits. A planning target is not a calibration certificate.

Can you review a replacement instrument?

Send the current model, rope profiles, loads, accessories and required data outputs. CTM is independent of the brands mentioned on this site.

GET THE CONFIGURATION RIGHT

Send the rope size. Define the load.

We will review cable construction, measurement range, access and output requirements with your RFQ.
