Tension Sensors | WTS

WTS Web Tension Sensors are used for direct tension measurement in moving webs of paper, films, foils, textiles or metals. Measurement of the precise web tension is accomplished by determining the resulting force that the web directs on to the guide roller connected to these shaft-end sensors mounted at each end of the roller.

It is widely accepted that a well-controlled web operating at defined tension values assures the highest possible end-product quality and is the basis for insuring minimum machine down-times.

The compact WTS sensors in connection with a web guiding roll fulfill 3 functions at once:

• precise measurement of web tension

• guides and deflects the web

• provides bearings for the shafts and rolls
