Heavy-duty Tension Sensor for wires, ropes and cables up to a diameter of 15 mm
4 Tension Ranges from 0-20 Kg up to 0-200 Kg
60mm diameter U-Grooved Rollers
Radius of U-Groove is 3mm (5mm and 8 mm available)
Fabricated from Hardcoat Anodized Aluminum
Wide range of analog and digital outputs available The new TSW Series Tension Sensor are purpose-built online tension sensor for continuous measurement of running line tensions of wires, ropes and cables and similar process materials up to a diameter of 15 mm. Built-in signal conditioning with ZERO and SPAN pots provide a high-level, analog output to minimize the chance for signal interference.
