Low Inertia Tension Sensor For Fragile Filaments
5 Tension Ranges from 0-50 g up to 0-1000 g
Lightweight 32mm diameter rollers minimize the deflection of the material path for fragile filaments or very low tension applications.
5 Tension Ranges
0-50 g up to 0-1000 g
TE-xx-22-PL (with Delrin Plastic Rollers)
TE-xx-22-AL (with Hardcoated Aluminum Rollers)
Lightweight 32mm diameter rollers minimize the deflection of the material path for fragile filaments or very low tension applications.
A built-in amplifier conditions the strain gauge signal, providing a 0–1 VDC output, minimizing the chance for signal interference.
Other important features include user-accessible calibration adjustment pots and gold-plated contacts on the connector.
Features
- Lightweight 32mm diameter rollers are offered in Delrin Plastic (specify TE-xx-22-PL) or Harcoated Aluminum (specify TE-xx-22-AL).
- Precision strain gauge sensing for highest accuracy and repeatability.
- Frequency response of 100 Hz.
- 0-1 V DC output, proportional to tension (0-10 V DC optional).
- Surface mount electronics provide long-term reliability.
- Optional 10ft. connecting cable, TE-CABLE-CN is recommended.
