Product catalog summary
Overview
The Montalvo TNT-Series Tension Sensing Rolls are designed to measure web tension accurately using a strain gauge system integrated into a lightweight aluminum roll. These rolls are versatile, with customizable mounting options and a range of sizes and load capacities, making them suitable for various applications.

Features
  • Roll widths starting from 200mm.
  • Custom mounting options available.
  • Standard load ratings from 125N.
  • Standard roll diameters from 80mm.

Specifications
  • Electrical: 5 VDC excitation, 50 mV/V output, gauge resistance between 80-130 Ω.
  • Mechanical: Standard shaft made of carbon steel, roll made of 6061 aluminum with optional coatings.
  • Environmental: IP54 classification, operating temperature range from -4 to 185°F (-20 to 85°C).
  • Loading: Rated from 25 lb (125 N) with a 300% overload capacity.

Dimensions
  • Roll diameters available in 80, 100, 130, 150, 195, or 200 mm.
  • Overall length, face length, and shaft length at connector end are customizable.

Connector Details
  • Standard male 4 pin M12 connector with optional configurations.
  • Connector position is typically at 09 o'clock relative to the load arrow at 6 o'clock.

How They Work
The strain gauges form a full bridge configuration. The web tension causes the sensing beams to bend slightly, changing the resistance of the strain gauges and producing an output signal proportional to the tension.

TNT Tension Sensing Roll-4

Tension Sensing Rolls The strain gauges of the Montalvo TNT-Series load cell form a full bridge configuration. The force resulting from the web tension bends the internal (mounted on each end of roll) sensing beams slightly. As a result the resistance of each strain gauge changes, producing an output signal proportional to the web tension. Montalvo Load Cell Cable (option). Connector wired as specified below: Cable Connector Connector can be either fixed to load cell (standard) or on a pigtail wire (option) Load Cell Connector (view of connector pins) 1 Optional materials available 2 Many roll...
