| | .jpg) | TENSION TRANSDUCERS
Dover tension transducers (some people refer to them as 'load cells') measure actual web tension in almost any moving web or filament. Transducers output an accurate, reliable signal to an indicator or controller. All Dover transducers have rugged stainless steel and aluminum construction for reliability and corrosion resistance.
Several of our transducer products are not listed in this site. So, if you don't see a transducer that fits your needs exactly, please call or e-mail us. We also manufacture custom transducers to fit almost any tension measurement application. | |

| | .jpg) | Tension Roll Transducers
Tension roll transducers and dead-shaft idler roll are combined in one integral unit. No assembly is required. Faster, easier, and less expensive to install than separate roll and transducers. Only one transducer cable--eliminates cable crossing between machine frames. Roll diameters from 4 inches (100mm)and up. Face widths to 120 inches (3050mm). Load ratings from 12 to 2000 pounds (55 to 8900N).
Tension Roll Transducers Capabilities:
• Transducers and idler roll in one, easy-to-install unit • Fast, hassle-free installation--like any dead-shaft idler roll • Aluminum, steel or stainless steel rolls in many surface finishes • Two frame sizes plus many custom variations • One electrical cable | |

| | .jpg) | Roll Shell Transducers
The Model TR is based on the Model C transducer. These transducers, used in pairs, quickly convert a simple metal tube into a tension-sensing idler roll. One Roll Shell Transducer locks into each end of an aluminum or steel cylindrical tube to make an easy-to-install tension-sensing roll. Special expanding-collet coupling design allows easy insertion of transducer into the roll shell. Once tightened, the collet fastens the transducer firmly into the tube. Load ratings from 10 - 800 lbs. (44N - 3559N).
Roll Shell Transducers Capabilities: • Simple to install--Unit clamps into tube • No shaft needed • Accommodates axial thermal expansion up to 1/4"(0.64cm) in hot environments • Two frame sizes | |
