Hans Schmidt & Co DXX1500 Spezial – vintage industrial tension meter in steel, made in Germany, in good condition with minor wear from age; dimensions 21 × 12 × 2 cm, weight 350 g, dating to 1960–1970.
Description from the seller
Hans Schmidt DXX1500 Spezial – Vintage 1963 industrial tension meter – Ex SABCA – Complete
Old industrial device for measuring mechanical tension made by Hans Schmidt & Co in Germany.
Model:
SCHMIDT-Drahtzugspannungsmesser
Type: DXX1500 Spezial
Number: 8315
Original document date: 08/11/1963
Measurement range: 3 – 15 kg
Instrument used to measure the tension of wires, cables or technical materials in industry.
Very interesting feature: Presence of an inventory and control label from SABCA, the well-known Belgian aerospace company. The device probably comes from a laboratory or technical environment related to aerospace.
The set includes:
the measuring instrument,
the original case,
the original documentation in German,
the conversion card/table,
the accessories visible in the photos.
Condition
Very good overall condition for an instrument dating from 1963.
The mechanism seems to function correctly:
the needle responds well to movements and pressure,
the dial works,
the applied tension causes the measurement to vary normally.
Old mechanical instrument still responsive and apparently functional.
The device has however not been calibrated nor professionally tested with a recent reference cable. It is therefore sold as a vintage collectible instrument, for workshop or industrial display.
Normal presence of light age- and use-related marks.
