Tension load cell PST

block type

The PST has been specially designed for strip tension measurement into a continuous furnace for high accuracy at both maximum and minimum tension. The PST tensiometer is using four standards KIS load cells into a speciic arrangement which makes the PST tensiometer totally non sensitive to axial forces and bending moments induced by the delecting rollers due to high thermal expansion. Features - For strip tension measurements in a continuous furnace - Accuracy better than 0.1% of the maximum strip tension - Non sensitive to thermal expansion of the delecting roller - Non sensitive to side load forces - Based around standard KIS loadcells - low spare part cost - Easy maintenance and calibration - Custom design adapted to existing bearing blocks - no need of adapter plates
