Tension load cell CK series

doughnut-shapedstrain gaugesmall

CK shaft through load cell is the ideal solution for industrial applications requiring accurate laminate tension detection and web tension control. Specifically designed to measure the resultant forces generated by material tension during unwinding, rewinding, or intermediate processes, these load cells help maintain optimal tension and prevent tears that can compromise product quality. Improved tension regulation also contributes to higher productivity and more efficient operations. Thanks to their through-hole design, CK load cells can be installed in tight spaces, making them perfect for applications with through-shafts. Each unit is equipped with a pre-mounted bearing for the roller pin. The minimal deflection of the load cell body further enhances accuracy and reliability, providing constant and consistent force detection. CK load cells are available in single or double flexure configurations and in either aluminum or steel. Load capacities from 250 N up to 30.000 N, make CK shaft-through load cells the perfect solution for any kind of application. Models like the CKF.125 feature a unique dual fastening system (3 or 4 holes), making it suitable for diverse setups. Integrated strain gauge technology, arranged in a Wheatstone bridge configuration, converts mechanical movement into an electrical signal. This signal is then amplified to enable immediate, real-time web tension control and sent to a tension controller. By ensuring precise tension detection, CK load cells help maintain high product quality and streamline operations.
