TENSION TRANSDUCERS Model C

Product catalog summary

Overview: The Model C Tension Transducer by Dover Flexo Electronics is a strain-gauge tension-sensing device designed for versatility, accuracy, and reliability. It is suitable for easy maintenance and quick installation, making it a robust choice for shaft-mount applications.

Specifications: The transducer features a full Wheatstone Bridge connection with four strain gauges, temperature compensation, and is CE marked for compliance with European directives. It is constructed from stainless steel and aluminum for corrosion resistance. The device operates within a temperature range of -10°F to 200°F and has a non-repeatability of ±1/4% Full Span.

Options: Various options are available, including Drill & Tap, Environmental Connector, Extended Range Output, Full Bridge, Labyrinth Seal, Metric Mounting Stud, and Vacuum Compensation. These options enhance the transducer's adaptability to different environments and requirements.

Benefits/Features: The transducer measures actual web tension, reducing web breakage and stretching issues. It is sealed against dust and moisture and features a dual cantilever beam for high strength and accuracy. The device allows for precise orientation and compensation for idler shaft length changes.

Mounting Styles: The Model C offers several mounting styles, including Piloted Flange, Through-Frame, Screw/Bolt, Pillow Block, and Flange. Each style is designed to fit specific installation needs and can be rotated for optimal positioning.

Load Rating Selection: The correct load rating is determined by maximum web tension, wrap angle, and roll weight. The document provides formulas and diagrams to calculate the Net Force and ensure the transducer is not overloaded.

Electrical and Mechanical Specifications: The transducer requires a 5 Vdc excitation and outputs 250mVdc nominally. It has an overload capacity of 1200 lbs for sizes 0 and 1, and 2500 lbs for size 2. The material used includes 6061 and 7075-T6 Aluminum, and 303 and 304 Stainless Steel.

Dimensions: Detailed dimensions are provided for different sizes and mounting styles, ensuring compatibility with various installation setups.
