Replacements for Montalvo X-Series Cantilevered Load Cells

Model VNW Series and Model RFA Series tension transducers are the industry standard in cantilevered semiconductor strain gage web tension load cells. Available in up to five mounting styles: Screw, Flange, Pillow-Block, Through-Frame (VNW only) and Piloted-Flange (VNW only). These rugged and refined transducers can be configured to accommodate a variety of pullies or rollers. The RFA and VNW transducers provide load ratings that span from 10 to 400 lbs (45-1,779 N). All DFE load cells are backed with a 5 year warranty.

Model RFA and VNW transducers are great alternatives to Montalvo X-Series cantilevered load cells in the following configurations:

Recommended Amplifiers / Signal Conditioners
TA1 TrueTension™ Amplifier
TA500 EtherNet/IP™ Tension Amplifier

Notes:
1. A DFE amplifier is recommended for best performance
