DATA SHEET FMS Tension Control / Force Sensors CA-Series Compact force sensors with flexible installation options for use with dead shaft rolls • For machines with restricted installation space Compact dimensions and various installation options • For a wide range of applications Nominal force ratings from 50 to 1'500 N (110 to 330 lbf.) • No need to change a standard machine design for special applications Options include high temperature and vacuum chamber construction • Precise measuring results Measuring range 30:1 Accuracy class ±0.5% • Robust and durable Overload protection rating of 10-times nominal force, stainless steel sensor body CA-Series The CA-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 dead shaft idler rolls are utilized. The product can be supplied with a Pilot or without a Pilot at the back the unit. In addition, flexible mounting options include the ability to install the unit utilizing either four fasteners from the front or a single fastener from the rear. The included dowel pin can also be incorporated between force measuring bearing and the machine frame to ensure proper unit orientation. For installations where a Pillow Block mount is required the optional bracket can be utilized. Adapter diameters are available in various dimension, in metric as well as in imperial sizes. Functional description The CA-Series force measuring sensor combines the bracket for the dead shaft idler roll and the force sensor within the same housing, thus minimizing the required installation space. The substantial overload protection translates to eliminated/minimized.

Installation option FL Flat mount, with dowel pin for centering Installation option PH Flange mount, with pilot hole for centering
