Tension force transducer STR™ series

custom

The Segmented Tension Roll transducer is a specialty idler roller that measures tension on multiple individual web strands in a slitting and rewind environment. It also serves to measure tension at multiple points across the width of a single web in a converting or printing application. In recent years converters of extensible materials have been seeking the capability to measure and control process tension on two or more parallel web sections as they are being wound onto individual roll cores on the same machine. In response, Dover Flexo has refined the design of the popular Tension Roll®Transducer to make custom devices with various configurations and numbers of tension-sensing roll segments across almost any specified shaft length. The advantage to such a versatile tension-sensing roll is in space savings and convenience for the maintenance or engineering team tasked with adding more tension measurement points in a selected machine zone. With a segmented tension roll transducer, only one idler roll device is being added in the machine frame, and the same web path is used for accurate tension measurement for multiple slit web strands.
