MAGPOWR Digital Tension Meter
Read MoreA low-cost way to monitor tension output, the Digital Tension Meter (DTM) is perfect for applications where access to tension control parameters is not required. Operators can mount a control away from the web to get feedback on current web tension via a backlit display and illuminated digits. The DTM is encased in high-impact plastic to withstand demanding conditions. A sealed front panel meets industry-standard NEMA 4X/IP65 specifications for wash-down and dusty environments. This meter can be used with any tension sensor amplifier by reading the 0 to 1 mA meter output reference.

MAGPOWR TR-5
Read MoreThe MAGPOWR TR-5 Tension Readout is a device for measuring tension in a moving web, strand, wire or narrow tape. It uses either one or two MAGPOWR load cells and interconnection cables.
This system can be used on any non-driven idler roll or at any position where the wrap angle of the web or strand does not change. Each load cell contains four foil type strain gages bonded to a sensing beam. These gages convert the load on the roll or sheave to an electrical signal. Within the TR-5, the signal from the load cells is amplified and displayed on the tension meter.
The amplifier of the TR-5 has low drift and high linearity, with a gain control range of 8:1 and tare adjustment of 50%. An auxiliary 0 to 10 VDC, or 4 to 20 mADC output is provided for interfacing to other products or systems.

MAGPOWR TS Load Cells
Read MoreTS Load Cells provide the most consistent control of tension, no matter how the temperature changes throughout the day. In fact, all MAGPOWR Load Cells are designed with foil strain gauges that provide the lowest temperature drift rating possible (.02% per º C), which can mean the difference between a profitable web and a floor of wasted material.
These rugged load cells are extremely accurate devices used to measure tension in any unwind, rewind or intermediate web processing application. The unique low profile design minimizes space requirements inside the machine frames, thus maximizing the potential for web width. TS load cells are designed with mechanical overload stops in both force directions to eliminate sensor damage and the need to recalibrate even after extreme overloads, while also offering the flexibility of a variety of mounting styles and coupling options.
Split coupling models
Load Cells with Split Couplings can be used to measure web tension through dead-shaft or live-shaft idler rolls. With one load cell mounted to each side of the machine frame, the idler roll is supported between the two load cells. The resultant force of the web tension is measured as a load on the roll by the load cells.
The Split Coupling allows the idler roll to be easily installed after the load cells have been mounted to the machine frames. The coupling design also accommodates misalignment between the machine frames and allows for thermal expansion of the idler roll shaft during machine operation. The unique coupling design also allows its use in both dead-shaft and live-shaft applications.In-roll coupling models
The In-Roll Coupling is designed to insert directly into the end of an idler roll. With one load cell mounted to each side of the machine frame, the idler roll is supported between the two load cells. The resultant force of the web tension is measured as a load on the roll by the load cells.
The In-Roll Coupling includes a spherical bearing to allow for smooth rotation of the idler roll and to accommodate misalignment between the machine frames. This coupling type eliminates the need for idler rolls with shafts and bearings, thus reducing the overall cost of the tension sensing system.Wire pulley models
The Wire Pulley is used for single strand applications for any kind of material. When mounted to the side of a machine frame or bracket, a load cell measures tension in the strand as it passes over the nickel plated aluminum load cell pulley. -
MAGPOWR GTS Load Cells
Read MoreThe stability and accuracy displayed by MAGPOWR’s GTS Global Load Cell allow the tension to be precisely measured and controlled on a roll. The GTS units, designed to be mounted under standard inch or metric pillow block bearings, measure the load created by the web and acting on the sensing roll.
Two GTS Load Cells should be used, one for each side of the sensing roll, thereby accurately measuring the total web tension force acting on the roll, independent of web width or location. The flexible cable connector eliminates the need for left and right models, as each GTS load cell can be mounted on either side of the machine.
A full Wheatstone bridge is incorporated into each GTS load cell for the maximum accuracy and stability. All sizes are adaptable and pre-drilled and tapped to accept standard inch and metric pillow block bearings.

MAGPOWR TLC Thin Load Cell Series
Read MoreThe MAGPOWR TLC load cells are extremely accurate devices used to measure web tension in any unwind, rewind or intermediate web processing application. Delivering precise web tension with low temperature drift due to a full Wheatstone bridge construction, the load cells allow for force measurement and 10 times overload protection in both force directions.
With a low profile design, space between the machine frames dedicated to the load cell is minimized. The load cells can also be mounted on the outside of the machine frames, eliminating any space required for the load cells.

MAGPOWR CL Cantilevered Load Cells for Narrow Web Applications
Read MoreLoad cells are not where operators want to spend their money. MAGPOWR’s CL Cantilever Load Cells facilitate that as they are the most cost effective cantilever load cell on the market. These sensors have the unique ability to accept virtually any roll and shaft assembly. Operators are no longer restricted in design – they simply install one of their spare roll assemblies into the Model CL Load Cell.
MAGPOWR’s CL Cantilever Load Cells are designed to support cantilevered idler rolls in processing machines that have just one side frame. They then accurately measure and control tension in a narrow moving web and are typically used on paper, film, foil, wire, fiber, fabrics or any materials used in the label, tag, tape, printing or converting industry.
These rugged load cells have mechanical overload stops and can be mounted inside or outside of the machine frame.

MAGPOWR CSR Tension Sensing Roller
Read MoreThe MAGPOWR CSR series is a cantilevered tension sensing roller that uses tension sensors embedded in the roller to provide a signal proportional to tension in any unwind, rewind or intermediate web processing application.
When installed in place of a standard machine idler roller, the CSR tension sensing roller delivers precise web tension measurement with low temperature drift due to a full Wheatstone bridge construction on each load cell inside the roller.

MAGPOWR Cygnus Tension Control
Read MoreA variety of advanced yet easy-to-use features are apparent immediately to operators using MAGPOWR’s compact, powerful Cygnus® Tension Controls. Operators can easily navigate through advanced tension control functions and codes using on-screen prompts displayed in full text, making the setup process faster. Web tension is maintained or adjusted using multifunction “smart keys,” similar to those used in ATMs, and a large backlit display for easy viewing. Converters and printers can dramatically reduce setup time and improve consistency with powerful features like automatic tuning and out of round roll compensation (previously only possible with a dancer control). Complex tension settings can be input quickly with full text prompts as opposed to more complicated input procedures of the past.
