Web Tension Sensor

The tension sensor is a bi directional strip to which the strain gauges are applied as a result of which an analogue measured signal proportional to the web tension is output.

Web tension sensor.

Block load cells are used for web tension control in practically all production plants where web type materials are processed or finished. Fixed mounted and hand held tension sensors for yarn fiber wire cable optical fiber carbon fiber warps webs and more. Montalvo s strain gauge load cells offer industry leading sensitivity to detect the slightest changes in tension minimizing waste and maximizing your amount of high quality end product. Please contact our experts to review your tension meter requirements.

The most convenient direct tension sensing devices you ll find anywhere for tension measurement and control on presses and machines with cantilevered narrow web rolls. Web tension measurement devices include load cells or a dancer position feedback sensor that are constantly relaying tension changes directly from the web of material to the tension controller which regulates the output of the torque device which may be a tension brake clutch or drive to maintain the desired tension level. Linear dancers can have side to side alignment issues. Web tension and control sensors are the input devices used with tension control systems and web guide systems.

A variety of single roller and 3 roller tension sensors are offered with large selection of roller profiles materials and sizes to cover all applications. The narrow web tension transducer now available in 3 standard roll diameters combines a bearing mounted idler roll and two tension sensing elements in one package. A dancer roll system is not a tension sensor. A dancer roll system is a free moving idler loaded with a force that is imparted to the web as tension as a result of the web positioning the dancer.

They can be mounted on both sides of the measurement roll or only one side as a cantilever sensor rolls to ensure the constant web tension measurement and control. Dancer roll systems can be linear or pivoting. Nexen s web tension sensors include load cells for measuring the force applied to a sensor roller roll diameter sensors and rotary sensors used with dancer systems. Area of use.

High quality tension control starts with a high quality tension control signal.
