Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a Cantilever Tension Load Cell? A force measurement device used to monitor web tension in slitting, rewinding, printing, coating, and converting machinery.
• How does a Cantilever Tension Load Cell work? The load cell measures force applied to a guide roller and converts it into an electrical signal. This signal is processed by a tension controller to maintain stable web tension.
• What is the difference between a Cantilever Tension Load Cell and a Through-Shaft Tension Sensor? A Cantilever Tension Load Cell uses a flange-mounted cantilever structure, while a Through-Shaft Tension Sensor is installed through the roller shaft. Both provide accurate tension measurement but suit different machine designs.
• Which industries use Cantilever Tension Load Cells? Flexible packaging, paper processing, film converting, printing, laminating, coating, textile manufacturing, and lithium battery production industries, among others.
