Model 153T Yarn Tension Transmitters Description Model 153T yarn tension transmitter is developed to measure yarn tension or to detect yarn breakdown in the production processes of textile industry, e.g., the false twist texturing process for multi-filament yarns. The 153T transmitter employs the 1531 force sensor from BCM SENSOR, which has its sensing element manufactured through the thick-film technology on the ceramic sensor body. The housing of 153T is made from aluminium alloy to feature a light weight and is designed to be easily integrated into a textile yarn processing machine. With a sensor signal conditioning circuit, the output of 153T can be conditioned to either analogue output (e.g., 4~20mA, 10%~90%Vs ratiometric, 0~5Vdc, 0~10Vdc) or digital output (e.g., I2C, SPI). - capacity: 0.5N, 1N, 2N, 3N, 5N - manufactured by thick film technology - single bending beam of piezo-resistive working principle - low nonlinearity, hysteresis, and nonrepeatablity errors - high sensitivity - compact and robust design with light weight - yarn break detection - yarn tension measurement - fibre tension force monitoring in-/out-feed roller loading position Note: All dimensions are in mm.

SENSOR Loading Direction Note: The capacity of 153T is calibrated by applying the load along the direction as indicated above. Notes: 1. For customized pressure ranges, consult BCM. 2. “fs'’ refers to full scale or rated capacity. 4. For the current loop, RL can be zero. 5. For the voltage output, RL the bigger the better. 6. Calculated as a rate of outpout change between -20°C and +55°C, and normalized by the output at 25°C. 7. Response time for a 0 to fs step change, 10% to 90% rise time. 8. The part numbers for Molex connector are: 1) housing: MOX70066-3R/50-57-9403/part no. 221284 2) contact:...
