Tension Sensor SFZ

8 Tension ranges available
from 0 - 10 N up to 0 - 2000 N

For measuring the tension of running wires, fibre optics, cables, ropes, slim tapes and foils

Single roller tension sensor for installation at an existing deflection pulley

Special Features


Tension Sensor SFZ without amplifier, output signal mV/V

Sensor for installation at an existing deflection pulley; though the in- and outcoming angle has to be constant

Existing rollers with 20 – 180 degree wrap angles can be used as measurement points for the sensor

Directly, axial force application

The progressively adjustable axial mounting depth using a drill hole (Ø 50 mm), enables accurate positioning of the roller depending on the material path

High overload protection (max. 10 times of nominal force, However 3200 N max. )

Easy mounting of rollers provided by the customer or from SCHMIDT. Send us your request !

IP 67 (dust tight and ingress of water) protected, optional IP 54

Different clamping devices are optional available

Standard Features


Required power supply 10 V DC regulated

Rugged, stainless steel housing

Sensor with highly mechanical rigidity

Supplied with a 5 m shielded cable with open ends (Optional length are available)

Optionally available: Inspection Certificate 3.1 according EN 10204 with calibration report (only available in combination with a display)

Mounting

Einbebauter Zugspannungssensor Modellreihe SF


Tension sensor SFZ can be easily mounted everywhere a deviating point respectively a guide roller is built in at the machine. These places can be use as measuring point, assumed the in and outgoing angle is constant.

For mounting, the sensor can be clamped on each position of the cylinder. Alternative a mounting flange or a clamping block is available (see additional Options).


Calculating the Tension Range

Determining the tension range of 1-roller tension sensors

The tension range can be calculated for every wrapping angle with this formula:

Formular to determine the force of single roller tension senorsWhen selecting the nominal measurement force it is necessary to take into account the weight of the guide roll and raise the nominal load respectively, particularly when working with small nominal forces.
