RMA sensors are used for direct tension measurement in moving webs of paper, films, foils, textiles or metals.The bearing journal supports rolls with internal mounting. Measurement of the web tension is effected by registering at both sides the radial bearing forces on a web guiding roll.
Defined and setpoint controlled web tension ensures high product quality and is the basis for a minimum of machine down-times.
The compact RMA sensors in connection with a web guiding roll fulfill 3 functions at once:
measurement of tension in the web bearing of the shafts and rolls guiding and deflecting the product web
Direct, radial force transfer
High spring constants for the sensor permit high rotation speed ratings for the deflector roll
Nominal forces differing from standard
Advanced temperature range
Easy installation thanks to flange mounting
High precision and excellent long-term stability
Sensor housing and measuring cell made out of stainless steel, for use in humid environment
