We solve tension-measuring problems.
More than 70 years. Worldwide.

In 1948, the founder of the company, Mr. Hans Schmidt, started selling
and distributing yarns and textile machinery.
He became aware of the importance which the control of tension had
for production processes and soon developed and constructed
a 3-Roller Tension Meter which featured one measuring roller and
two guiding rollers. This ingenious principle of operation
has been proved to be the best method for tension measuring.
M O R E T H A N The 3-roller measuring system has become
the hallmark of all SCHMIDT tension meters
and remains unsurpassed in its efficiency
even today.
Since 1962, the company’s headquarter is in
Y E A R S Waldkraiburg, located near Munich, Germany.

In reponse to today’s needs, involving new advanced materials
and stricter production standards, SCHMIDT offers a large selection
of tension meters and ranges to satisfy those requirements.
Competition is constantly changing. Higher efficiency requirements
and continuous quality control make monitoring of tension more important
than ever. If, for instance, the winding tension of a copper wire
is too high, the wire diameter will decrease, resulting in a change
in the electrical resistance. With natural fibers, excessive fiber tension
leads to a change in characteristic.
With synthetic fibers, this results in irreversible molecular
shifts, which may cause the fabric to dye unevenly.
The inevitable consequence
is a product of poor quality.
SCHMIDT Tension Meters help you to
eliminate tension-related defects.
Today, more than 190.000
SCHMIDT tension meters are
used worldwide.
