Web tension sensor STAF is a line of flange load cells engineered by LCS, it is generally installed at both ends of the roller to achieve real-time detection and control of tension. Web tension load cell STAF is designed to accommodate bearings with an outer diameter of 40mm. Rated capacities are available in 0.3kN, 0.5kN, 1kN and 2kN with consistent rated output which facilitates signal processing. In the printing, packaging, paper manufacturing or textile industry, the uniform web tension of the material to be processed is crucial for a trouble-free process flow. A too low tension, for example, can result in the material not being guided properly. If the tension is too high, the material is stretched, which in turn can distort processes such as printing and cutting or even cause the material to tear. This results in unplanned downtimes and falling productivity. Tension sensors from LCS help prevent defects, monitor product quality, and maintain production flow. Our web tension sensors are suitable for the control of reel tension in both winding and unwinding system, custom made service is available for special measuring tasks.
