Installation and Operation
Inspection Upon Delivery
Warner Electric Tensioncells are carefully pack-
aged in sturdy reinforced cartons or wooden
boxes and are securely blocked or bolted in
place.
1. Upon receipt, examine the exterior of the
container for obvious damage or tampering.
2. Check the contents against the packing list.
3. Promptly report any damage or shortage to
both the carrier and Warner Electric.
Handling
Tensioncells can be handled manually.
Long Term Storage
While Warner Electric loadcells are plated,
exposure to weather, dirt, or moisture should be
avoided when they are stored.
Mechanical Installation
Note: Refer to the Dimension Drawing
Pages 11 and 12 of this manual for detailed
identification of all parts.
Tensioncells are designated as W1 and W2, one
being the mirror image of the other to provide
for mounting between two fixed walls. (See
Figure 8)

Warner Electric Wall Mounted Tensioncells are
mounted to the machine frame by a 5/8-11 UNC
bolt which is in line with the centerline of the
measuring roll shaft. This allows the Tensioncell
to be rotated around the centers of the measur-
ing roll and mounting bolt to achieve the proper
mounting angle (Description of Operation on
Page 5).
The locating tab prevents the Tensioncell from
rotating and secures it in a permanent location.
It also provides a means of repeating rotary
position when the Tensioncell needs replace-
ment.
Note: Remove the 1/4" locking screw and
the 5/8" mounting bolt. This permits the roll
assembly with Tensioncells to be lifted out
of the machine.
To install Tensioncells:
1. Make sure a 5/8” diameter hole is drilled
through the machine frame in line with the
centerline of the measuring roll shaft for the
5/8-11 UNC mounting bolt.
2. Fasten the Tensioncell to the machine frame
with the mounting bolt.
3. Rotate the Tensioncell to the proper mount-
ing angle and tighten the mounting bolt.
(Refer to N on the calibration sheet for the
proper mounting angle.
4. Drill a #6 (.204) hole concentric with the 1/4"
hole in the locating tab.
5. Remove the Tensioncell and tap the hole for
a 1/4-20 thread.
6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 for the Tensioncell
to be mounted at the other end of the meas-
uring roll.
7. Assemble the tensioncells onto the ends of
the measuring roll shaft.
