TI17A & TI18 TrueTension™ Amplifiers

A versatile, single-channel tension transducer interface for monitoring tension in any zone on web or filament processing machinery.

The TI17A & TI18 TrueTension™ amplifiers are devices that power a tension transducer (or a pair of shaft-end mounted transducers) installed in a web or filament path.  The transducer return signal is scaled to provide a proportional 0-10 VDC or 4-20 mA output to a PLC, drive or display meter.

The primary difference between the TI17A and TI18 amplifiers is their power input requirements. The TI17A operates on 115 VAC 60Hz (230 VAC 50Hz optional) while the TI18 operates on 24 VDC.
