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.

The model TSU Load Cell is ruggedly constructed with built-in mechanical overload stops in both force directions, and will stand up to mill duty. A full Wheatstone bridge arrangement is incorporated in each load cell for the most accurate means of measuring web tension. Best used with two load cells, one under each pillow block bearing that supports the sensing roll. When installed in this manner, the load cells accurately measure the total force on the entire roll created by tension in the web, and the readout will be precisely displayed no matter what the position of the web.

Key Features:

•Rugged industrial construction

•Positive overload stops in both compression and tension modes of operation

•Four foil strain gauges in a full Wheatstone Bridge

•Low cost with high quality components

•Simple installation

•Sensing actual web tension

The GTS Global Load Cell is used for under pillow block applications. The units are designed to be mounted under standard inch or metric pillow block bearings, which support a live or dead shaft roll. By measuring the load created by the web and acting on the sensing roll, precise and accurate tension can be displayed and controlled.

Two GTS sensors should be used, one for each side of the sensing roll. When installed in this manner, the two load cells accurately measure the total web tension force acting on the roll, independent of web width or location. The flexible cable connector eliminates the need for "left" and "right" models, since each GTS load cell can be mounted on either side of the machine. Every load cell is constructed with mechanical overload stops in both force directions to prevent load cell damage and eliminate the need for recalibration even after extreme overloads. A full Wheatstone bridge is incorporated into each GTS load cell for the maximum accuracy and stability.

GTS Global load cells are adaptable. All sizes are pre-drilled and tapped to accept standard inch and metric pillow block bearings. Adapter kits are available.

Key Features

•Ready for Installation - GTS load cells are pre-drilled and accept "Inch" or "Metric" pillow block bearings

•Accurate -The full Wheatstone bride maintains the optimum accuracy and stability

•Rugged - Unitized construction for long lasting performance

•Compatible with all MAGPOWR tension readouts and controls

•Adaptable - T-slot and blank plate mounting adapters are available

•Positive overload stops prevent load cell damage
