Non-Contact Sonic Belt Tension Tester for Timing, V and Ribbed Belts
This FXTUL tester works out belt tension from the sound a belt span makes when it vibrates, without touching the belt. Enter or select the belt’s unit mass, width and span, set the span vibrating, and it shows the frequency and the calculated tension.

Acoustic Measurement
A belt plucked between pulleys vibrates at a frequency set by its type, mass, width and span. The probe picks up that sound and converts it to installation tension.
-
Belt Database with Quick Select
Common belt specifications can be selected directly. Mass, width and span can also be keyed in for a one-off belt that is not in the list.
-
Your Own Belt Library
Over USB Type-C, the DATA.CSV table can be edited in Excel to store up to 999 user-defined belts.
-
Single or Continuous Mode
Manual mode captures one reading per press. AUTO mode keeps measuring until Hold locks the latest result.
-
Noise Filtering by Range
Pick the frequency range that fits the belt to ignore sounds outside it. A spectrum graph shows what the probe hears.
-
Readable Display
The color TFT screen has 10 backlight levels, several display themes and a battery level indicator.

Good to Know
Caution
- Saving an edited data table replaces the old one permanently. If the format cannot be read after a restart, the tester overwrites it with a blank table.
- Use an English input method, follow the template format, keep the file name, store no other files on the device and never unplug the USB cable while saving.
- Do not use the tester where there is a risk of fire or explosion.
Care
- Copy DATA.CSV to your computer before editing it.
- If readings are missing or unstable, check the entered values, change the frequency range, replace low batteries and test somewhere quieter.
- Do not twist the probe or bend its hose sharply, and do not clean the tester with solvents such as thinner or gasoline.
- Remove the batteries when storing the tester for a long time.
