Performance Benefits Cleveland Motion Controls Slim Cell Transducer is part of the Cleveland- Kidder® Tension Transducer family. With a unique new low-profile design, it sets the standard for either new machinery or for retrofits where space is tight. With a dust sealed, corrosion resisting, water resisting design, it is ideal for use in demanding industrial environments. The Slim Cell Transducer can be used with either rotating shafts or dead shafts and has a flat cylindrical shape. It is designed to reduce the required the machine. It is also an improved alternative to the CIPB style load cell because it can be rotated so that the maximum tension load output is obtained at any web force direction. (A CIPB load cell's output is a function of the web force direction and is severely reduced in some orientations.) The Slim Cell includes a small diameter solid lubricant bearing with very low friction. It is ideal for low tension applications with rotating shafts where the size of the bearing and bearing friction become a major contributing component to the web tension. Shafts are easy to mount. Shaft adapters are provided to accommodate standard shaft diameters. The shaft fits into the adapter bore and it is held in place with set screws. This eliminates the need for Design Features Cleveland Motion Controls Slim Cell path. To orient the load cell, just loosen the three mounting bolts, then rotate the load cell body so that the orientation sign is aligned with the bisector of the wrap angle. The Slim Cell is made of corrosion resisting stainless steel and it is completely sealed to resist water migration. It utilizes a low friction labyrinth seal. The bearing utilizes a solid lubricant, ideal for vacuum application, providing for lifetime Slim Cell design enables it to be mounted either inside or outside of the machine frame. The Slim Cell is typically applied in pairs, one on each side of the machine. A pillow block style bracket is also available as an option. The Slim Cell Transducer has force 4500 N), accommodating a wide range of tensions. The load cell's ability to accommodate such a wide tension range makes it very adaptable to a number of web tension applications.
