Tension force transducer F series

Model FH and FV Tension Transducers The F series transducer is a heavy-duty, flat transducer designed to accurately measure web tension in machines having live-shaft idler rolls. One F transducer mounts under the pillow block bearing at each end of the roll shaft. Designed for use in demanding tension measurement environments, the F transducer shell has a single-piece aluminum base with a removable stainless steel top plate. A rubber seal between the base and top plate prevents water intrusion or other contamination. The transducer’s electrical connector is located at the end of a short cable for simpler access during installation. The F series transducers supersede the former UPB style tension transducers. The F transducer is available in a V (vertical) configuration for use when the applied force is roughly perpendicular to the top plate of the transducer. It is also available in an H (horizontal) configuration for use when the applied force is oriented more parallel to the transducer top plate. The F transducer mounts on a stable machine frame surface using one bolt (size 2), or two bolts (size 3) on each end. The F transducer is available in two sizes. Load ratings range to 1200 lbs in the size 2 and 5000 lbs. in the size 3. FEATURES: • Corrosion-resistant stainless steel and aluminum construction. • Attached cable with amphenol connector. • Tethered top plate safety feature prevents separation from transducer in the unlikely event of beam breakage. • Robust overload protection. Load stops limit beam deflection to 125% of rated output. • Designed to meet CE mark requirements for Measurement & Control equipment: EN61326 for EMI.
