Transducer measures tension in tight spaces.
Press Release Summary:
Based on dual-beam design, Model C transducer, THN is a strain-gauge, tension-measuring device used in pairs that mount opposed in machine web path. Each end of idler roll shaft fits securely into THN transducer coupling to create tension-sensing idler roll. Made of stainless steel and aluminum, transducer offers single-bolt mounting and load ratings from 25-800 lb. It is 1¾ in. wide and available in dead-shaft and live-shaft versions.
Original Press Release:
THN Transducer Measures Tension in Tight Spaces
(ROCHESTER, NH, USA-October 28, 2003) Web tension equipment manufacturer Dover Flexo Electronics (DFE) announces the release of the new THN tension transducer.
Based on the robust dual-beam design of the company's Model C transducer, THN is a strain-gauge tension-measuring device used in pairs that mount opposed in a machine web path. Each end of an idler roll shaft fits easily and securely into a THN transducer coupling to create a tension-sensing idler roll.
At 1 3/4 inches wide the THN shares a low profile with other pancake-style shaft-mount load cells, but its user-friendly features including a 1 3/4-inch mounting footprint, single-bolt mounting, and trouble-free installation separate the distinct, green-colored tension transducer from its peers. THN is avalable in dead-shaft and live-shaft versions.
o Thin profile allows for easy mounting in limited horizontal space.
o Single-bolt mounting means transducer force orientation can be changed simply.
o Shaft coupling designed for easy roll shaft installation.
o Rugged stainless steel and aluminum construction
o Load ratings from 25 to 800 lbs (110 - 3560N; 11 - 364 Kg).
