How Does a Through-Shaft Tension Detector Work?

The detector measures the force applied to an idler roller or guide roller by the moving web material.

Working Principle

1. The moving web applies force to the guide roller.
2. The roller transmits the force through the shaft.
3. High-sensitivity strain gauges detect shaft deformation.
4. Mechanical force is converted into electrical signals.
5. The signal is transmitted to the tension controller.
6. The control system automatically adjusts brake or clutch torque.
7. Stable web tension is maintained throughout production.

This closed-loop control process is essential for modern high-speed web handling systems.
