Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Cantilever Tension Sensor?

A Cantilever Tension Sensor is a load-cell-based device used to measure web tension in converting, printing, slitting, rewinding, and packaging machinery.

How does a Cantilever Tension Sensor work?

The sensor detects force applied to a guide roller and converts it into an electrical signal, which is transmitted to a tension controller for real-time tension regulation.

What is the difference between a Cantilever Tension Sensor and a Through-Shaft Tension Sensor?

A Cantilever Tension Sensor uses a flange-mounted cantilever structure, while a Through-Shaft Tension Sensor is installed directly through the roller shaft. Both provide accurate web tension measurement but suit different machine designs.

Which machines use Cantilever Tension Sensors?

Cantilever Tension Sensors are commonly used in slitting machines, rewinding machines, printing presses, coating lines, laminating equipment, and flexible packaging machinery.

Can the sensor work with automatic tension controllers?

Yes. The XWDGM Cantilever Tension Sensor is specifically designed to work with automatic tension controllers and closed-loop tension control systems.

Is the sensor suitable for continuous industrial operation?

Yes. The sensor is built for long-term industrial use and offers excellent stability, repeatability, and durability under continuous operating conditions.
