Tension Sensor FSH

7 Tension ranges available
from 0 - 1000 cN up to 0 - 100.00 daN

Stationary electronic tension sensor for flexible material as wires, thin ropes and cables up to 15 mm Ø, as well as linear, flat material up to 10 mm width

Large, hardened guide rollers for minimized material deflection

Low cost tension sensor for quick and easy mounting

Special Features


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

Ball-bearing mounted guide rollers,
– V-grooved (for material with max. 4 mm Ø)
– U-grooved (for material with 3 up to 15 mm Ø)
– tape grooved (for material with max. width of 10 mm)

Various output signals are available:
– analog: 0 – 1 V DC (standard), 0 – 10 V DC (optional)
– digital (optional): USB, RS-232, Wi-Fi, RS-422 – see model FSH-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 long hole R 19 with a length of 54 mm

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

Measuring principle – load cell with high quality strain gauge bridge

Tension sensor with mechanical overload protection

Note: a wide range of custom designed models as well modifications are available on request. Please contact us with your demand!

Standard Features

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.
