MAGPOWR model CL Cantilever Load Cells are designed to
support cantilevered idler rolls in processing machines which
only have one side frame, and to accurately measure and
control tension in a narrow moving web. They are typically
used on paper, film, foil, fabrics or any materials used in the
label, tag, tape, printing or converting industry.
A unique advantage of these load cells is their ability to
accept the customer's roll and shaft assembly. No longer is
the user restricted in design to a special roll at the design
location. He simply installs one of his own spare roll
assemblies into the model CL Load Cell. Another advantage
of these load cells is the capability to be mounted on either
side of the machine frame. This allows the process rolls to
be mounted flush to the machine frame to minimize
overhang when the load cell is mounted on the back side of
the machine frame.
The model CL Load Cells are ruggedly
constructed with built-in mechanical
overload stops. A full Wheatstone bridge
arrangement is incorporated in each load
cell for the most accurate means of
measuring web tension. There are 2 sizes
available with 5 tension sensing ranges up
to 500 lb. IP67 protection ensures reliable
operation in applications where wash-down
(and even submersion) are required.

Load Cells & Readouts

SIZING-Narrow Web
To select the load cell, the total load on the roll must be calculated. This load
is the sum of the tension components in the sensing plane, plus the pulley
weight components in the sensing plane. The equation for this load is:

LOAD = 2T (sin (X/2)) + (W cos Y)
This is the total load. But, since tension transients are unknown, and are
generally quite large, a "factor of safety" of 2 should be used. The final
equation for load rating required for the load cell is then:

L= 4T (sin (X/2)) + (W cos Y)
To select a load cell, apply this equation and choose a load cell with a load
rating greater than L. For example, if the web tension is 15 lb, the angle Y is
30˚, and the wrap angle is 70˚, the resulting load cell rating is:

L=4 (15) (sin (70˚/2)) + 5 cos 30˚
L = 38.75 lb
Therefore, use a CL1-50 or CL2-50 load cell.
