Description
A cable tension meter reads the pull in a wire rope or control cable without cutting into the run. Crews use one on control cables, lifting gear and guy wires. However, the meter drifts like any other instrument. The Snap-on TTC2600 tensiometer testing kit gives a TTC torque bench the reaction hardware it needs to check those meters in-house.
Why check tensiometers in-house with the TTC2600
Tension meters often travel with field crews, so they take knocks. Yet the reading sets how tight a cable runs, and that affects safety and wear. An in-house check lets you catch a bad meter before the next job instead of after it. In addition, you keep the record in the same system as your torque wrench data.
How the Snap-on TTC2600 tensiometer testing kit fits a TTC bench
Snap-on lists reaction arms, cables, mounting plates and fixtures for tensiometer testing. It also says the TTC600 and TTC800 loaders can apply tension loads with TTC series transducers. So the TTC2600 adds the tensiometer side, while the loader and indicator do the rest. Snap-on’s TTC2000 page names cable tensionmeters among the tools its optional kits can calibrate.
Build list for a tensiometer bench
- TTC600 manual loader or TTC800 motorized loader.
- TTC610 or TTC810 indicator for force readings and storage.
- TTC26302 force arm kit, the shared base for force work.
- A single TTC transducer sized to the meter, because the TTC400 4-in-1 cannot run force tests.
- The TTC2600 kit itself.
Picking a TTC2600 reference range
Look at the highest tension your meters read in daily use. Then choose a transducer that covers it with room to spare, while keeping the test points well above its bottom end. If your meters span a wide band, you may need two transducers. Lost in HCM can help match the transducer list to your meter fleet.
Caring for the TTC2600 between checks
Keep the kit’s cables and fixtures dry and free of kinks. Also inspect pins and plates for wear before each session. Then send the indicator and transducers to an outside accredited lab on your normal cycle.

Snap-on TTC2600 tensiometer testing kit FAQ
Does the TTC2600 include a loader or indicator?
Snap-on lists it as a force testing kit for its TTC benches. So plan on a TTC loader and indicator, and confirm the contents with Lost in HCM.
How is it different from the TTC2610?
Snap-on sells the TTC2600 for tensiometers and the TTC2610 for tension gauges.
Can the TTC400 transducer serve as the reference?
No. Snap-on says force testing works only with single transducers, not the TTC400.
