Special Features

Tension sensor FSB1 with integrated measuring amplifier and high accuracy of 1.5 % FS

Various roller widths from 7 mm up to 30 mm, according to the application are available. The roller width must correspond with the width of the material to be measured

Various output signals are available:
– analog: 0 – 1 V DC (standard), 0 – 10 V DC (optional)
– digital (optional): USB, RS-232, RS-422 – see model FSB1-422
– current: 4 – 20 mA (optional)

Easy installation, even afterwards, on existing machines

2 Mounting possibilities: housing mounting or cylindrical hole mounting (mounting cut out 38.5 – 40 mm Ø) – see picture above.
The housing of sensors with digital output are larger and need as mounting cut a longhole R 19 with a length of 54 mm

Easy calibration to customized material by operator – zero and gain calibration is required

With high quality strain gauge bridge

Tension sensor with mechanical overload protection

Standard Features

Other tension ranges available on request.
Other measuring units available, such as g or kg
* SCHMIDT calibration material depending on tension range and roller width
** Outside dimensions of front plate

Important for your order:
Please specify model and roller width! Dual-flanged outer guide rollers are standard. All 3 rollers can be equipped with one flange, if the material to be measured is wider than the rollers. Please request when you order.

Calibration to customized material:
If process material differs significantly from the SCHMIDT calibration material in diameter, rigidity or shape, special calibration using customer supplied samples is recommended. For this purpose a material sample of about 5 m should be supplied.

For the tension sensor FSB1 we offer different display units for one or more sensors, as well as strain gauge amplifier.
