The TR Tension Roll^® Transducer is also referred to by some of our customers as the Dover Roller, the Tension Roller and sometimes the Tension Measurement Roller. Any way you call it, it is the easiest way for printers and manufacturers to measure web tension on a press or converting machinery.

No assembly required! Just specify your desired shaft length, load rating, and roll diameter. This is faster, easier and less expensive than installing a separate idler roller with 2 transducers (a.k.a load cells). Only one transducer cable is used, meaning there is no cable-crossing between machine frames. Aluminum, steel or stainless steel rolls available in many surface finishes.
