Load Cells & Readouts TR-5 Analog Tension Readout for Wide or Narrow Web Applications The MAGPOWR model TR-5 Tension Readout is a device for measuring tension in a moving web, strand, wire or narrow tape. It uses either one or two MAGPOWR load cell(s) and interconnection cable(s). This system can be used on any non-driven idler roll or at any position where the wrap angle of the web or strand does not change. Each load cell contains four foil type strain gages bonded to a sensing beam. These gages convert the load on the roll or sheave to an electrical signal. Within the TR-5, the signal from the load cell(s) is amplified and displayed on the tension meter. The amplifier of the TR-5 has low drift and high linearity with a gain control range of 8:1 and tare adjustment of 50%. An auxiliary 0 to 10 VDC, or 4 to 20 mADC output is provided for interfacing to other products or systems. Features Precision tension meter for direct tension readout 8:1 calibration range Tare adjustment of 50% load cell rating Overall system accuracy better than 1% Auxiliary 0 to 10 VDC or 4 to 20 mADC output Operates with either one or two load cells Easy to install and calibrate Improved productivity by eliminating operator dependency Improved quality through reproducible correct machine settings Switch selectable 115/230 VAC input 82 Load Cells & Readouts
