AC10 Tensioncells
AC10 Tensioncells are available in three capaci-
ty ranges for non-rotating shaft applications
with maximum resultant force plus tare load of
60, 170, or 500 pounds respectively.
The rugged, all-steel construction of the AC10
Tensioncell includes four basic components: the
one-piece base block, the patented C-Flexure,
the load plate, and the shaft support block. The
factory-set mechanical stop provides overload
protection up to ten times the maximum rated
load capacity of the unit.
Each unit is wall mounted by means of a single
bolt located in line with the integral self-aligning,
stainless steel shaft support bushing and the
centerline of the roll shaft. This permits the
Tensioncell to be rotated and mounted at the
required angle around the axis of the measuring
roll. The locating tab at the bottom of the unit
locks it in position.
The primary conversion element between the
mechanical tension force and the electrical out-
put signal is an AC Linear Variable Differential
Transformer (LVDT). The LVDT electrical ele-
ments are encapsulated and sealed against
shock, vibration, or tampering. Input and output
circuits are isolated from each other and from
the Tensioncell body. This permits the
Tensioncells to be used in floating ground elec-
trical systems.
