Roll Shell Transducers

The Model RS is based on the Model C transducer. These transducers, used in pairs, quickly convert a simple metal tube into a tension-sensing idler roll. One Roll Shell Transducer locks into each end of an aluminum or steel cylindrical tube to make an easy-to-install tension-sensing roll. Special expanding-collet coupling design allows easy insertion of transducer into the roll shell. Once tightened, the collet fastens the transducer firmly into the tube. Load ratings from 10 - 800 lbs. (44N - 3559N).
