Model C Tension Transducers

The industry standard in strain-gauge based tension transducers (sometimes called 'load cells'). Model C Tension Transducers are completely sealed to protect the inside from dust and water. Recessed seals are protected from damage. Available in three frame sizes and both live-shaft and dead-shaft versions. Choose from five available mounting styles: "S" (screw mount), "FL" (flange mount), "PB" (pillow block mount), "PFL" (piloted flange mount), "TF" (through-frame mount). These rugged, time-proven transducers have many other features. Download Model C Tension Transducers Specification Sheet below.

Tension Transducers Capabilities

• Dual cantilevered beam for high accuracy
• Load ratings from 10 - 800 lbs (45 - 3560N)
• High Overload capacity (to 2,500 lbs or 11,125N)
• Available with XR (extended range output for measuring lower minimum tensions)
• DFE controllers and indicators are available with a Dual Calibration feature for accepting calibration parameters from two sets of tension transducers, allowing users a wider range of tension measurement.
