Design Features

Cleveland Motion Controls specializes
in the design and application of web
tension control product solutions.
Included is the family of ClevelandKidder® Tensi-Master® CR Tension
Transducers, providing measurement
and control of tension in wire, fiber and
ribbons.

Tensi-Master® CR Tension Transducers
utilize a cantilevered “twin beam” to
render greater sensitivity and response
without sacrificing protection from
overload and transients common to
industrial process machinery.

Tensi-Master® CR Tension Transducers
are designed for supporting a customer
supplied pulley assembly in applications
such as printing, coating, cutting, plating, laminating, and embossing; and in
the processing of tire cord, textiles, wire,
tape, extensible film, thread and yarn,
paper, foil, cellophane, and many other
products.
Tensi-Master® CR Tension Transducers
are easily applied, provide consistent
quality, and are highly responsive for
enhanced system performance. With
heavy duty construction and a low
maintenance design, they minimize
downtime.

Semiconductor strain gauges are bonded
to the beam assembly, and provide a
linear output signal as the beam
assembly is deflected by the force acting
on the pulley or roll.
Tensi-Master® CR Tension Transducers
are available in eight different load
ratings, providing tension sensing of
wire, fiber and ribbons over an extremely
wide range. With a versatile transducer
orientation capability, they easily
accommodate tension forces applied in
any direction. Flexibility of installation is
accomplished by adding mounting
hardware to a basic module to complete
the body style.

• Negligible displacement
of “twin beam” design
resulting in high level
linear output signal,
high frequency
response and overall
system stability.
• Easily oriented at any
angle to accommodate
all web paths.
• Accommodates
customer-mounted
pulley.
• Heavy duty construction
with corrosion resistant
finish and dust seal.
• Incorporates a built-in
overload stop.
• Accommodates “MS
type connectors.
• Wide range of
Maximum Force ratings.
• Wide operating
temperature range.
• Corrosion-resistant
finish and dust seal.
