Product catalog summary
Overview
The document discusses Modular Force Transducers, specifically the Cleveland-Kidder® Tensi-Master® Tension Transducers, which are designed for web tension measurement and control in industrial applications. These transducers are noted for their installation flexibility and high responsiveness.

Key Features
  • Design: Utilizes a "twin beam" design for negligible displacement, resulting in a high linear output signal and system stability.
  • Flexibility: Can be oriented at any angle to suit various web paths, accommodating shaft expansion and misalignment up to 1°.
  • Variety: Available in two module types and sizes, each with five different load ratings, covering a wide range of Maximum Working Force ratings.
  • Durability: Features a corrosion-resistant finish, dust seal, and built-in overload stop.
  • Connectivity: Compatible with "MS" type connectors.

Performance Benefits
Cleveland Motion Controls specializes in web tension control solutions, with Tensi-Master® Tension Transducers enhancing system performance by maintaining proper roll alignment and providing consistent product quality. Their modular design reduces machine modification needs and minimizes downtime.

Design Features
  • Sensitivity: The cantilevered "twin beam" design enhances sensitivity and response while protecting against overloads.
  • Strain Gauges: Semiconductor strain gauges provide a linear output signal as beams deflect under force.
  • Installation: Flexibility is achieved through mounting hardware added to basic modules, allowing for infinite orientation capabilities.
  • Temperature Compensation: Includes a temperature-compensated bridge circuit.

TENSION TRANSDUCERS CARTRIDGE-STYLE Tensi-Master® Modular Force Transducers (Load Cells) Combining Highly Responsive Web Tension Measurement & Control WIth Installation Flexibility Performance Benefits Design Features Cleveland Motion Controls specializes in the design and application of web tension control product solutions. Included is the family of ClevelandKidder® Tensi-Master® Tension Transducers (Load Cells), providing measurement and control of web tension in continuous process machinery applications such as printing, embossing, slitting, coating, cutting, punching, laminating and folding; and in the production of paper, cellophane, cardboard, rubber, textiles, linoleum, foil, and extensible and photo film. Cleveland-Kidder Tensi-Master Tension Transducers utilize a cantilevered “twin beam” to render greater sensitivity and response without sacrificing protection from overload and transients common to industrial process machinery. Tensi-Master® Tension Transducers are force transducers that are easily applied, provide consistent product quality, and are highly responsive for enhanced system performance. Negligible motion maintains proper roll alignment. Tensi-Master® Tension Transducers are modular in design, providing the greatest degree of installation and application flexibility. With heavy duty construction and a low maintenance design, they reduce the necessity of machine modifications while minimizing downtime. Semiconductor strain gauges are bonded to the beam assembly, and provide a linear output signal as the beams are deflected by the force acting on the transducer roll. Tensi-Master Tension Transducer flexibility of installation is accomplished by adding mounting hardware to a basic module to complete the body style. Two basic module types are offered in two sizes each, with each size available in five different load ratings. This allows sensing of web tension over an extremely wide range. With an infinite transducer orientation capability, they easily accommodate tension forces applied in any direction. Tensi-Master Tension Transducers are designed to accommodate shaft expansion and shaft misalignment up to one degree. They incorporate a temperature compensated bridge circuit, a split coupling mount, built-in overload stop, “MS” type connectors, and a corrosion resistant finish and dust seal. • Negligible displacement of “twin beam” design, resulting in high level linear output signal, high frequency response and overall system stability. • Easily oriented at any angle to accommodate all web paths. • Available in two basic module types and two different sizes–with each size available in 5 different load ratings. • Wide range of Maximum Working Force ratings In each type & size. • Wide operating temperature range. • Built-in overload stop. • Accommodates “MS” type connectors. • Corrosion-resistant finish and dust seal. • Accommodates shaft expansion & shaft misalignment up to 1°.
