Wireless Digital Cable Tension Meter Manufacturing

"The Gripper has the feel of a tool and the accuracy of an instrument."

Sprague Instruments, Inc. designs and manufactures The Gripper, a wireless cable tension meter built for aviation maintenance in tight, hard-to-reach spaces. The tool delivers real-time readings directly in front of the technician, reducing measurement time and improving workflow. The Gripper measures five cable sizes, 1/16, 3/32, 1/8, 5/32, and 3/16, across a 10 to 150 pound range with 2 percent full-scale variance. This precision, compact form factor, and wireless operation support faster, more accurate cable tension verification on aircraft.
