CF Series Load Cells
The CF series is the IBD flanged load cell category. They are fitted at the end of a measuring roller and can precisely detect the result of the forces generated by pulling of the material depending on the winding angles. The commercial success of CF cells is due to the combination of their compact design, which allows them to be easily fitted in narrow spaces, user-friendliness and high reliability, thanks to the high quality achieved by IBD in 20 years of business in the sector. CF load cells are available in various models and with a load range of from 50N to 25000N
Raccomendations for the correct installation of CF’s cells Assemble the load cells to the shaft ends of the roll as shown in the drawing to the right. One bearing is axially fixed using a circlip (retaining ring) and spacers, while the other bearing is left free to float axially into the load cell. This allows for thermal expansion of the machine components.
Number of cells
It is possible to use only 1 load cell in the following cases:
The length of the roll is less than 40 inches
The web material constantly remains in the center of the roll or in the same location on the roller.
