In addition, they do not require unique orientation to achieve maximum sensitivity. This permits the installation of identical load cells at multiple web tension zones regardless of the pillow block mounting or angle configuration of the roller. The low-profile cell is sealed to meet IP67 requirements, temperature compensated to 250 °F, and dead weight calibrated to precision accuracy. These features add up to zero maintenance, simple retrofit, and long-term reliability for machines that continuously process material in the paper industry. | | | | | | | | | | Applications • Calenders • Winders • Coaters Principles of HTU Operation Force-sensing elements located on each end of the transducer measure the components Fx and Fy of FR applied along the X and Y axes. Resultant output signals (FR) can be used to determine the magnitude and direction (8) of the overall force applied by the web. Two full Wheatstone bridges are mounted internally to each tubular cross section to provide independent sensing for each axis, as well as protection from hostile environments. | | | | | | | | | | Graphic Display/Interface | | | | | | | | | | Controller | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
