Tensi-Master transducers utilize a cantilevered "twin beam" to render optimum sensitivity and response without sacrificing protection from overload and transients common to industrial process machinery. Semiconductor strain gauges are bonded to the beams, and provide a linear output signal as the beams are deflected by the web tension acting on the transducer roll.

Tensi-Master transducer flexibility of installation is accomplished by adding mounting hardware to a basic module to complete the body type. two basic module types are offered in two sizes each, with each size available in five different load ratings. This allows sensing of web tension over an extremely wide range. Infinite transducer orientation capability easily accommodates tension forces applied in any direction.

• Negligible displacement of "twin beam" design results in:
  * High level, linear output signal
  * High frequency response
  * Overall system stability
• Heavy duty construction.
• Built in overload stop.
• Temperature compensated bridge circuit.
• Easily oriented at any angle to accommodate all web paths.
• "MS" type connectors.
• Wide range of Maximum Working Force ratings in each type and size.
• Wide operating temperature range.
• Corrosion resistant finish and dust seal.
• Accommodates shaft expansion.
• Accommodates shaft misalignment up to 1°.
• Split coupling mount.

PRODUCT BENEFITS
