Rotating the Tensioncell on its mounting bolt
changes the force vectors on the cell. This fea-
ture makes it possible to minimize the tare com-
ponent and maximize the load signal output.
The resultant tare is minimized by mounting the
Tensioncell so that (N) is 149° (See Figures 6A
and 6B) or so that (N) is 329° (See Figures 7A
and 7B).

The intrinsic design of Warner Electric
Tensioncells allows the location of the Resultant
Load of Strip Tension (H) on any angle with
respect to the Load Line (OL). Note, however,
that the Total Force vector (RF) must always be
calculated on the line (OL).
Any force vector falling on the line (OR) (through
the pivot point of the C-Flexure) will produce no
deflection, and thus no change in electrical out-
put.
