Reinforced web tension idler roller CPF series

precision

Integrated, high-precision force measurement sensors in the roller shaft Elimination of external load cells and bearings Simplified mechanics and reduced sources of error Aluminum lightweight construction for low mass inertia Wide range of surface treatments (e.g., non-stick, rubber) Precision class 0.5% CPF Sensor Rollers: Complete Integration and Maximum Precision The CPF sensor measuring rollers offer a fully integrated solution: the highly sensitive force measurement sensors (strain gauge technology in Wheatstone bridge configuration) are installed directly in the roller journal. This direct placement inside the roller ensures unadulterated, rapid measurement of web tension and eliminates the need for external load cells and bearings. This minimizes mass inertia—particularly important at high speeds and frequent start-stop processes—and significantly simplifies installation. As a ready-to-connect complete system, the CPF series saves maximum space and maintenance effort. Thanks to the availability of various surface coatings (e.g., rubber or non-stick), these high-precision rollers adapt flexibly to a wide variety of materials such as paper, film, and nonwovens, and ensure precision of class 0.5%. Core principle: Direct force measurement through integrated strain gauge sensors in the roller shaft Savings: Complete system that eliminates the need for external bearings and load cells Performance: Low mass inertia thanks to aluminum lightweight construction and fast response time Flexibility: Adaptable to various materials through diverse surface treatments
