Performance Benefits
Cleveland Motion Controls Slim Cell
Transducer is part of the Cleveland-
Kidder® Tension Transducer family. With
a unique new low-profile design, it sets
the standard for either new machinery
or for retrofits where space is tight. With
a dust sealed, corrosion resisting, water
resisting design, it is ideal for use in
demanding industrial environments.
The Slim Cell Transducer can be used
with either rotating shafts or dead shafts
and has a flat cylindrical shape. It is
designed to reduce the required
side-frame-to-side-frame width of
the machine. It is also an improved
alternative to the CIPB style load cell
because it can be rotated so that the
maximum tension load output is
obtained at any web force direction.
(A CIPB load cell's output is a function
of the web force direction and is severely
reduced in some orientations.)
The Slim Cell includes a small diameter
solid lubricant bearing with very low
friction. It is ideal for low tension
applications with rotating shafts where
the size of the bearing and bearing
friction become a major contributing
component to the web tension. Shafts
are easy to mount. Shaft adapters are
provided to accommodate standard
shaft diameters. The shaft fits into the
adapter bore and it is held in place with
set screws. This eliminates the need for
a precision press fit.
Design Features
Cleveland Motion Controls Slim Cell
Transducer accommodates any web
path. To orient the load cell, just loosen
the three mounting bolts, then rotate
the load cell body so that the orientation
sign is aligned with the bisector of the
wrap angle.
The Slim Cell is made of corrosion
resisting stainless steel and it is
completely sealed to resist water
migration. It utilizes a low friction
labyrinth seal. The bearing utilizes
a solid lubricant, ideal for vacuum
application, providing for lifetime
lubrication and low friction.
Slim Cell design enables it to be
mounted either inside or outside of
the machine frame. The Slim Cell is
typically applied in pairs, one on each
side of the machine. A pillow block style
bracket is also available as an option.
The Slim Cell Transducer has force
ratings from 10 to 1000 lbs. (45 N to
4500 N), accommodating a wide range
of tensions. The load cell's ability to
accommodate such a wide tension
range makes it very adaptable to a
number of web tension applications.
LOW PROFILE
TRANSDUCER
(LOAD CELL)
Low profile load cell
for use with either
rotating shafts or dead
shaft rollers
• Low profile design reduces width
requirements of machine frame.
• Low friction bearing design ideal
for low tension applications.

your machine (by measuring
both low and high tensions).
• Competitively priced alternative
to UPB style load cells.
• Maintenance-free solid lubricant
bearing ideal for use in vacuum
environments.
• Easily oriented to any web path
by merely rotating the
transducer (if the wrap angle
changes), no remounting
necessary.
• Available in 2 sizes and 7
different capacities (10 to
1,000 lb.) (45Nto 4,500 N).
• Designed to comply with MEMA
4x, IP65 standards.
