Tension Meter Repairs & Maintenance


To keep your Penn-Tech Cable Tension Meter performing at its best:

  • Keep it dry and clean.

  • Annual maintenance and recalibration is recommended (to protect your unit from natural wear and tear).

  • Use a white lithium grease when lubricating your Tension Meter. Do not use penetrating oils, which will remove grease and jeopardize the unit's integrity. 
     

We also offer repairs and replacement parts for Tension Meters.

  • See our Price List for annual-maintenance and visit our online store for replacement-parts.

  • Contact us if you have questions about recalibration or repairs, or to order replacement parts.

  • Review 'Sending Tension Meters for Maintenance & Repair' (below) before you ship your Tension Meter.
     

For accurate calibrations, Penn-Tech Tension Meters should be serviced by Penn-Tech or a Penn-Tech-authorized calibration lab.Any unauthorized repairs or maintenance MAY VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
