ABB Horizontal Load Cell for Precise Strip Tension Measurement

In many strip processes, strip tension inherently produces a horizontal force component on a roll, or it can be designed to do so. By utilizing this horizontal force component, strip tension measurement becomes more accurate and efficient. The ABB horizontal load cell is specifically engineered to measure only the strip tension, excluding the tare weight of the roll, resulting in optimized measurement accuracy.

The key advantage of ABB’s horizontal load cell lies in its ability to offer greater stiffness levels and overload tolerances in all force directions compared to traditional vertical load cells. This allows for superior performance in demanding industrial applications, ensuring reliable and consistent measurements, even under high-stress conditions.

Choose ABB’s horizontal load cell for accurate and reliable strip tension measurements, optimized for superior performance and precision in strip processing.
