CTM-RLT / Moving rope measurement

Running Line Tensiometers & Cable Pulling Meters

Specify a three-sheave running line tensiometer for moving steel cable, winch payout and cable pulling projects.

Running line / three sheaves 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-RLT	4–38 mm / 0.157–1.496 in	10–300 kN / 2,248–67,443 lbf / 1,020–30,591 kgf	Target ±1.5–2% FS; subject to rope-specific validation	Running line / three sheaves

MEASUREMENT WORKFLOW

Running line / three sheaves: define the installation first

Size the sheaves for the cable construction, align entry and exit paths, then validate reference tension, speed and length channels over the agreed operating range.

Maximum line speed is configuration-dependent. The requested 1,000 m/min envelope requires explicit sheave, bearing, encoder and dynamic validation.

Before specifying CTM-RLT

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.
