DATA SHEET FMS Tension Control / Force Sensors • Compact dimensions, simple installation For machines with limited installation room • Precise results, even with small web tension Measuring range 30:1 Accuraty class ±0.5% • For small to medium web tension Nominal force from 50 to 1'000 N (11 to 225 lbf.) A-Series The A-Series force measuring sensor offers compact dimensions and flexible installation options and is designed for the measurement of tension on continuous material processing lines where live shaft idler rolls are utilized. This feature minimizes the space required at installation. The compact dimensions and the simple installation with only one screw allow new assembly options in machines with tight installation space. Functional description The A-Series force measuring sensor combines the bearing seat and the force sensor within the same housing, thus minimizing the required installation space. The substantial overload protection translates to eliminated/minimized calibration issues due to machine upset conditions. The design includes dual bending beams, and this serves to eliminate the load specific influence of torque. The movement of the bending beams, which is proportional to the applied force, is detected by strain gauges arranged in a full bridge circuit and then converted into an electrical signal. This simple measurement principle delivers precise results even with low material tension and small web wrap angles. The Red Point, as located on the sensor body, should be aligned with the direction of the resultant force due to web tension.
