## Questions & Answers

**Q: Sir, do you have the tension gauge in 30-35lbs. deflection force capacity?**
A: max is 35lb which is some capacity, wouldn't want to speculate on accuracy !

**Q: Where do I find deflection force?**
A: At the customary mid-point deflection of 1/64" per inch of span, the deflection force is about 1/16 the actual belt tension.  Deflection force is read off the telescoping stem of the tension gauge, but be sure to slide the O-ring all the way back before using the tool.  Use the inch scale on the barrel of the tool along with a straight edge to measure the deflection.  (Note: the barrel goes against the belt; you push on the telescoping stem.)  You can find the recommended belt tension in manufacturers tables.

**Q: what is the tool diameter ?**
A: Hello,

The diameter of the tip that pushes on the belt is 0.8 cm and the ticker part above is like 1.1 1.2 cm

**Q: What is the size (Length) of this gauge?**
A: About the length of a wood pencil after a couple of sharpenings.

*by A***R on 24 July 2025*

Very easy to use! I work on aircraft with ac belts and some times it gets a little annoying trying to use other methods to measure belt tension. This tool works great, a must have for mechanics of all kinds. Also it was recommended by the ac manufacturer.
