In continuous web and wire processes, controlling the tension in the moving web is often critical in producing a quality product. In printing, coating, laminating, slitting, extruding, and other converting processes baggy edges, slack web, or tight web all create an undesirable product. Web tension transducers (load cells) are mounted to tension rollers in critical sections of the line to measure the amount of web tension. This measurement is then utilized by other devices such as controllers, drives, brakes, and clutches to control the tension. Good control relies on good measurement, and proper selection and application of the tension transducer (load cell) is necessary to insure superior web tension control.

The CMC® Cleveland-Kidder® Slim Cell Transducer (load cell) measures and monitors precise tension on web process or wire machinery that utilizes either rotating shafts or dead shaft rollers. It is especially beneficial in load cell applications where space is tight, web tensions are typically low, and the environment is demanding. With a low profile design, the Slim Cell reduces the side-frame-to-side-frame width requirements of the machine. With a maintenance-free solid lubricant bearing with very low friction, it is ideal for low tension applications, extending usable tension ranges of web machinery by measuring both low and high tensions.

The CMC® Cleveland-Kidder® UPB Washdown-Duty LC measures and monitors precise tension on web process or wire machinery. With a completely sealed design (corrosion resisting and chemical resisting), this under-pillow-block style load cell is an ideal solution for demanding industrial environments, such as in the production of paper, steel, textiles, roofing shingles, linoleum, rubber, foil, and food products. The UPB Washdown-Duty LC is designed for use with pillow block bearings and rotating shaft installations. It has a compact low-profile block design that can be mounted at any angle and used for retrofit or for new machinery.
