Special Features

Tension sensor MBZB with integrated measuring amplifier and high accuracy of 2 % FS

Typical material path – warping the 3 rollers

According to the application, different tape rollers with various roller widths from 7 up and 10 mm are available

The roller width must correspond with the width of the material to be measured

Various output signals
– analog: 0 – 1 V DC (standard), 0 – 10 V DC (optional)

Universal mounting possibility – easy to install, even afterwards, on existing machines:
The sensor can be mounted using the three threads at the underside of the housing body. Alternative it can be fixed on a optional rail DIN EN 60715. A mounting adapter is necessary.

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

Measuring principle – loadcell with high quality strain gauge bridge

Standard Features

Tension sensor with aluminium housing

Certificate of Compliance with the order 2.1 according EN 10204 is included

Optionally available: Inspection Certificate 3.1 according EN 10204 with calibration report

Available Models

Model	Tension Range*	Measuring Head Width**	Roller Width
MBZB-200	0 – 200 cN	70 mm	7, 10 mm
MBZB-500	0 – 500 cN	70 mm	7, 10 mm
MBZB-1000	0 – 1000 cN	70 mm	7, 10 mm

A connecting cable is not included and has to be ordered sperately.
Other measuring units available, such as g.
* 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! Small 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 MBZB we offer different display units for one or more sensors, as well as strain gauge amplifier.
