Key parameters
Portable force-deflection belt tension kit for single, wide, multi, timing, and flat belts — digital BT-357D readout with ±0.3% FS accuracy class, span scale, magnetic angle brackets, and wide-belt adapters in a carry case.
Key advantages
- Force-deflection method — Set span, apply force, read tension against belt/machine OEM deflection values.
- Belt coverage — Single, wide, multi, timing, and flat belts with dedicated wide-belt adapters (2 / 3 / 4 in).
- Digital gauge — BT-357D: Peak / Track / Preset modes; ±0.3% FS; 1000 Hz sampling; 500-point memory.
- Capacity options — Model 3000-110 (110 lbf max) and 3000-220 (220 lbf max) per OEM manual.
- Field kit — Adapters, magnetic angle brackets, deflection span scale, USB charger, and calibration certificate in a durable case (OEM page).
Typical applications
- Predictive maintenance tension checks on HVAC and industrial belt drives.
- Commissioning new single- or multi-belt installations.
- Timing and flat-belt tension verification with manufacturer force-deflection charts.
- Paired belt/alignment programs alongside B.A.T. laser tools.
Selection guide
- Capacity — 110 lbf vs 220 lbf max deflection force for the drive you service.
- Adapters — Confirm wide-belt bars if banded/timing belts exceed single-belt tips.
- Reference data — Obtain force-deflection values from the belt or machine maker before measuring.
- Combo kits — OEM also offers DIGI-BELT + B.A.T. alignment combos when both jobs travel together.
Common mistakes
- Measuring without the correct force-deflection chart — the tool reads force; tension targets come from the belt OEM.
- Exceeding gauge capacity — overload to 150% FS can damage the load cell; display flashes beyond 110% FS.
- Applying force off-axis — OEM requires in-line tension/compression only.
- Using tools to tighten adapter heads — hand-tighten only.
When to RFQ / what to tell us
- 3000-110 vs 3000-220; need for wide-belt adapters or B.A.T. combo.
- Quantity and ship-to country.

FAQ
Q: Does it read belt tension in newtons directly as belt tension? A: It measures deflection force digitally; convert using the belt/machine manufacturer’s force-deflection values for that drive.
Q: What belt types are supported? A: OEM lists single, wide, multi, timing, and flat belts with matching adapters.
Q: What should I send for a quote? A: 110 vs 220 lbf model, adapter/combo needs, quantity, ship-to.
