Foil type strain gauges mounted in a full Wheatstone Bridge configuration in each sensor perform the actual tension measurement. The dual flexion beam design eliminates angular deflection under load and ensures
tension measurement with the highest accuracy and reliability under the most stringent requirements. A built in mechanical hard-stop provides high overload protection and ensures that frequent calibration is not required.
The force measuring journals of the CZ 205 Series undertake the tension measurement in all kinds of continuous material processing applications. They are utilized with rollers that have an internal bearing with a bearing seat of 25 mm. The bearing mounts to the bearing seat of the load cell and fits inside the roller. This results in a compact tension measuring roller saving a lot machine mounting space. The red point at the connector indicates the positive measuring direction.
