Load Cells & Readouts TS Split Coupling Model Load Cells Stud Mount Load Cell Flange Mount Load Cell Pillow Block Load Cell Typical Installation The Split Coupling configuration supports the dead or live shaft on each side of the machine. Sensors with split couplings are available with all three mounting types. Flange mount sensors shown Split Couplings Load Cells with Split Couplings can be used to measure web tension through dead-shaft or live-shaft idler rolls. With one load cell mounted to each side of the machine frame, the idler roll is supported between the two load cells. The resultant force of the web tension is measured as a load on the roll by the load cell. The Split Coupling allows the idler roll to be easily installed after the load cells have been mounted to the machine frames. The coupling design also accommodates misalignment between the machine frames and allows for thermal expansion of the idler roll shaft during machine operation. The unique coupling design also allows its use in both deadshaft and live-shaft applications. As it is shipped from the factory, the coupling is configured to accommodate a deadshaft installation as shown in the typical installation represented below. For applications in which the shaft itself must rotate, a single set screw may be removed from the coupling to allow its rotation on an internal bearing.
