Warner Electric AC10 Measuring System - Manual (Page 8)

Installation
Pre-Installation Inspection
Before installing the AC10 system:
1. Insure all components are present. A typical
system consists of two AC10 Tensioncells,
one PSAC10 board, and two 30 foot lengths
of cable for connecting the Tensioncells to
the board. Refer to Model Number
Designation (Chart 1) below to verify load
capacity and shaft diameter.
2. Inspect all electrical and mechanical compo-
nents for physical damage.
3. Promptly report any damage to the carrier
and Warner Electric.
Mechanical Installation – Tensioncells
AC10 Tensioncells are available in three capaci-
ty ranges. The rated load capacity should
always be larger than the maximum calculated
Tare Weight (W) plus the Resultant Force (RF).
To calculate the Resultant Force:
1. E = (180°- B/2) where B = Wrap Angle
2. RF = T x CosineE where T = Web Tension
8 Warner Electric • 800-825-9050 P-2012-2
The maximum rated load capacity must be
greater than or equal to (RF + TW) where W =
Tare Weight. The Web Resultant Force (RF) and
Tare Weight are always summed. Refer to the
Model Number Designation (Chart 1) below to
verify the shaft diameter, and that the maximum
rated load capacity of each unit.
Warner Electric also recommends the Resultant
Force (RF) be greater than 1/3 the maximum
load capacity of the Tensioncells.
Warner Electric side mount AC10 Tensioncells
are shipped in pairs designated W1 and W2.
The W1 unit has a split stainless steel, self-
aligning bushing for clamping the measuring
roll. The bushing in the W2 unit is not split to
allow for shaft expansion.
