ABB Horizontal Load Cell for Accurate Strip Tension Measurement

In many strip processes, the strip tension inherently produces a horizontal force component on a roll, or it can be intentionally designed to do so. By leveraging this horizontal force component, measuring strip tension becomes more precise and efficient.

ABB’s innovative horizontal load cell is specifically designed to measure this horizontal force component, offering optimized measurement accuracy. Unlike traditional vertical load cells, this specialized load cell allows for highly accurate tension measurement by focusing exclusively on the strip tension, excluding the tare weight of the roll. This leads to improved measurement reliability and precision in your strip tension control system.

Another significant advantage of ABB’s horizontal load cell is its superior stiffness levels and overload tolerances across all force directions. These properties make it far more robust and durable compared to traditional vertical load cells, ensuring reliable and long-term performance in demanding industrial environments.

Optimize your strip tension measurement with ABB’s horizontal load cell — a reliable solution for precision and accuracy in strip processing.
