Optic Fiber Tension Sensor

TF
Optic Fiber Tension Sensor

6 Tension Ranges
0–100 g up to 0–5.00 Kg

Large 70 mm aluminum rollers minimize bending of material which might damage or break the fragile filament.

The outer rollers are mounted on a movable plate to minimize contact when measurements are not being made.

Tension ranges of 10Kg and higher are available without moveable outer rollers.

Built-in signal conditioning with ZERO and SPAN pots provide a high-level, analog output to minimize the chance for signal interference.

70mm V-grooved rollers are rated for speeds up to 5000 m/min

Specify TE-CABLE-CC 5 ft. connecting cable (optional, longer lengths are available upon request)

Frequency response of 100 Hz

0-1 V DC output, proportional to tension (0-10 V DC optional)

Precision strain gauge sensing insures highest accuracy

Optional rollers are available for a wide variety of material profiles

Surface mount electronics provide long-term reliability

TD-1-TE
Tension Indicator

User-set High & Low Alarm Limits with relays

TD-1 provides regulated +5 V DC for SR sensors

4-20 mA and 0-10 VDC analog output for recording and control purpose
