Frequently Asked Questions (selected)- What is a Cantilever Tension Load Cell? A force measurement device used to monitor web tension in slitting, rewinding, printing, coating, and converting machinery.
- How does it work? The load cell measures force applied to a guide roller and converts it into an electrical signal. The tension controller uses this signal to maintain stable web tension.
- Difference vs Through-Shaft Tension Sensor? A cantilever load cell is flange-mounted with a cantilever structure; a through-shaft sensor is installed through the roller shaft. Both provide accurate tension measurement but suit different machine designs.
- Suitable for high-speed lines? Yes — designed for fast response, high accuracy, and excellent stability for high-speed web processing.
