Foil type strain gauges mounted in a full Wheastone Bridge configuration perform the actual tension measure-ment. The dual flexion beam design ensures accurate measurement at any material position on the roller. A built in mechanical hard-stop provides high overload protection ensuring that frequent calibration is not required. The red point on the side indicate the direction of the force
FMS Force Measuring Roller IMGZ series is used to measure the tension in continuous material processing applications, e.g. papers or foils. The force measuring roller is either directly mounted to the side of the machine frame or mounted using mounting brackets. The measuring sensors are integrated in the roller and measure the forces which are acting on the roller.
