HTZ-3 Tension Measurement Module

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information about the HTZ-3 Web Tension Measurement Modules, designed for use in various industrial applications such as paper production, printing, and coating zones. These modules are engineered to measure web tension accurately and are suitable for both new and existing installations.
Features: The HTZ-3 modules offer a capacity range from 500 lb to 50K lb, constructed with a rugged stainless steel 'I' beam sensing section. They utilize a full Wheatstone bridge with SR-4® foil strain gages, ensuring precise force measurement in both upward and downward directions. Factory calibration eliminates the need for on-site test weights, and optional adapter plates facilitate the installation of overload safety stops.
Applications: These modules are applicable in paper producing machines, roofing shingle manufacturing, printing presses, laminator zones, dryer zones, coating zones, and felt measurement.
Description: The HTZ-3 modules are designed to be mounted directly below roller pillow blocks. They feature an integral mounting pad and optional pillow block adapter plate for versatile installation. The modules are made from high-strength stainless steel, ensuring durability and precision. They meet NEMA 4 and IP65 sealing requirements, making them reliable in wet or washdown environments.
Specifications: The modules have a rated output of 2.0 mV/V ±0.1% and exhibit high repeatability and low combined error. They operate within a temperature range of –40 to 220°F and are compensated for temperatures between 30 to 130°F. The modules are constructed from 15-5PH stainless steel and ductile iron with enamel paint, providing robust environmental protection.

HTZ-3 Tension Measurement Module-1

HTZ-3 Web Tension Measurement Modules Web Tension MeasurementModules FEATURES • Capacity range: 500, 1K, 2K, 5K, 10K, 20K and 50K lb (227, 454, 907, 2.27K, 4.54K, 9K and 22.7K kg) • Rugged stainless steel ‘I’ beam sensing section • Resultant forces measure in the up or down direction • Full Wheatstone bridge with SR-4® foil strain gages • Factory calibration eliminates need for on-site test weights • Optional adapter plate designed for on-site installation of overload safety stops • FM and CSA approved APPLICATIONS • Paper producing machines • Roofing shingle manufacturing • Printing presses • Laminator zones • Dryer zones • Coating zones • Felt measurement DESCRIPTION HTZ-3 Web Tension Measurement Modules are designed to mount directly below roller pillow blocks in new or existing installations. Each module includes an integral mounting pad for use with an optional pillow block adapter plate. Adapter plate design allows upward or downward measurement and provides safety stop installation points at each corner. Transducers are machined from high strength stainless steel to yield a rugged ‘I’ Beam sensing section. A full Wheatstone bridge array of temperature compensated, Foil SR-4 Strain Gages are attached to this section and calibrated for precision accuracy. Resulting temperature stability is due to closely matching the expansion coefficient of the sensing section to the gages. Module sealing meets NEMA 4 and IP65 requirements. An integral cable conduit fitting, epoxy sealed strain gages, and a stainless steel transducer ensure long-term reliability in wet or washdown locations. Space required below the pillow block bearing is minimal, resulting in negligible line profile changes on retrofit installations. Overall height of the 1000 pound module is 2 inches. BLH Nobel provides HTZ-3 sizing recommendations based upon the actual sensing roll configuration. Modules are calibrated and certified with matched output signals to permit on-site, push-button system calibration.
