Product Announcements: Web Tension Sensors

Simply bolt the model TSU heavy-duty load cell under your present roll support bearings and they will accurately measure the tension forces on the machine sensing the roll created by the web. It can display and control the web tension through MAGPOWR tension readouts and controls. (read more)

To address tough economic times in the converting and web printing industries, and to help support their customers who are feeling equipment budgets pinched, Dover Flexo Electronics is running a refurbishing service for users of the firm's popular Tension Roll^® transducer. (read more)

An intrinsically safe interface between transducers and a Dover controller, drive system or computer. FireGuard is UL Listed for use when tension transducers and analog tension meter (optional) are located in hazardous Class I Division 1 or 2 area. Similar to the TrueTension Indicators in function, the FireGuard also reduces risk of fire or explosion. (read more)

The RFA Ribbon Filament Transducers are designed to measure tension in any moving ribbon, filament, or very narrow web. Ideal for wire, plastic, rubber, metal, glass, composite or other flexible substrate. Three standard wheels available--one for ribbon (specify width), one for filament, or the adapter model for custom requirements. (read more)

For those measurement applications with a high load (heavy tension) on the substrate and idler rolls in the web path, the UPBH or SUPB are the tension sensing tools to use. These transducers are made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel and aluminum and are built to last. (read more)

The NWI Narrow Web Tension Transducer combines a bearing-mounted idler roll and two tension sensing elements in one package. It measures tension in a moving web of paper, film, foil or other material. (read more)

The compact DFP-2 is perfect for use in use in dancer control applications with the MAGPOWR VERSATEC™, and in dancer and follower arm applications with the DFC-90 and FAD. It offers the same exceptional sensing performance as the original DFP sensor, but in a lighter duty low cost housing. (read more)
