Dynaspede presents a variety of sensors and tension monitors to cover most of the automation needs of converting or process machines.

SW series of tension sensors are full bridge, strain-sensitive load cells, with built-in self-aligning bearings that make them suitable for dead shaft or live shaft applications. These are generally used in pairs to support tension sensing idlers on either ends. Standard ratings cover a range from 10 kg to 150 kg in five sizes …adaptable for base or flange mounting.

For narrow web applications, we offer the option of using a single load cell to support one end of the sensing roll with the far end supported on anti-friction and self-aligning rolling bearings.

SW series of load cells also include a separate range of cantilevered units for narrow web applications.

UPB series of load cells are Under Pillow Block assemblies, offered for ratings beyond 150 kg. Two ratings 250 kg and 500 kg cover most of the popular sizes for UPB series of load cells.

All Dynaspede tension sensors exhibit excellent linearity and repeatability with a nominal output of 1mV/V.

Signal conditioning and amplification of load cell output is included in matching digital tension monitors or controllers.

For general purpose speed sensing and speed feedback applications, Dynaspede offers TEFT or TEFL models of tachogenerators in base mounted or flange mounted constructions. These are essentially single phase ac tachogenerators in 24 or 48 pole construction with quasi-sinusoidal output of 30/ 50 Volts ac (rms) @ 1500 rpm . Three-phase models are also offered for low speed or where faster responses are needed. For more precise speed monitoring, Dynaspede offers third-party pulse encoders with matching electronics.
