TR-5 Tension Readout

Whether you are working with a wide web or single strand web, the TR-5 Tension Readout from MAGPOWR is an excellent choice.  This system can be used on any non-driven idler roll or at any position where the wrap angle of the web or strand does not change. Each load cell contains four foil type strain gages bonded to a sensing beam. These gages convert the load on the roll or sheave to an electrical signal. Within the TR-5, the signal from the load cell(s) is amplified and displayed on the tension meter.

The amplifier of the TR-5 has low drift and high linearity with a gain control range of 8:1 and tare adjustment of 50%. An auxiliary 0 to 10 VDC, or 4 to 20 mADC output is provided for interfacing to other products or systems.

Key Features:

• Precision tension meter for direct tension readout
• 8:1 calibration range
• Tare adjustment of 50% sensor rating
• Overall system accuracy better than 1%
• Auxiliary 0 to 10 VDC or 4 to 20 mADC output
• Operates with either one or two sensors
• Easy to install and calibrate
• Improved productivity by eliminating operator dependency
• Improved quality through reproducible correct machine settings
• Switch selectable 115/230 VAC input
