Tension Control Specifications

Key parameters to confirm before ordering a tension control system:

  • Torque range: 6 N.m to 400 N.m on standard magnetic powder clutches and brakes; 1 N.m to 5 N.m on micro units
  • Control method: automatic closed loop with a non-overshoot PI algorithm, or manual constant-current open loop
  • Main output: 2 x 24 V / 4 A constant-current channels
  • Sensor input: 30 mV or 300 mV standard, 5 V customizable
  • Sampling: 50 ms cycle with 1 LSB conversion accuracy
  • Measurement structure: cantilever, pillow block or through-shaft, mV/V output, IP54 / IP65

Tension follows from torque and roll radius: web tension (N) = torque (N.m) / roll radius (m). For the full specification table, the three control methods and three typical configurations, see Web Tension Control: Tension Range and Control Methods. For lateral alignment on the same line, see Web Guiding Systems: Specifications and Model Selection.
