4 Roller Widths; 7, 10, 15, 20 mm
Can be supplied with V-Grooved or U-Grooved Rollers, TSC-Series

The MZB1 Series is a 3-roller online tension sensor is designed for the continuous measurement of narrow tapes, bands, webs, tows of fiberglass or carbon fibers and similar process materials. The Compact, narrow housing design facilitates the installation of several sensors in close proximity to one another when the end-to-end spacing of the process material is limited. Multiple sensors can be mounted adjacent to another for fixed to a single rail for quick and easy mounting.

Built-in signal conditioning with ZERO and SPAN pots provide a high-level, analog output to minimize the chance for signal interference.

It can be used for process diagnostics for continuous monitoring and recording online tensions. The MZB1 Tension Sensor can also be used as part of a closed-loop control system with 3rd-Party controller.

Mounting possibilities: The MZB1 Sensor can be mounted on a flat plate using the threaded holes on the underside of the housing, through holes using the flange at each end of the housing, or using the holes in the front plate.

Features

  • Strain Gauge-based sensor provides accuracy of 1.5% Full Scale or better.
  • Compact housing for convenient parallel mounting when access space is limited
  • Easy calibration using the zero and gain adjustment pots located on the side of the housing
  • Built-in amplifier provides a 0-1V DC output as standard (0-10V or 4-20mA, optional)
  • Can be used together with SC-PM Digital Tension Indicator or with user-supplied electronics
  • Various Digital Output Signals available, inquire
  • Flat Cylindrical Rollers are fabricated from Hardcoat Anodized Aluminum
  • Rollers width of 7, 10, 15, 20 mm are available
  • Connection cables are offered in 2-meter, 5-meter and custom lengths
