Stationary electronic tension sensor for measuring threads, fibres and thin wires with a diameter up to approx. 2 mm
Universal sensor for continuous tension measuring in wire and textile industry with different output signals
Low cost tension sensor for quick and easy mounting
Special Features
• Tension sensor FS1 with integrated measuring amplifier and high accuracy of 1.5 % FS
• Different guide rollers are available according to the application
• Various output signals are available:
– analog: 0 – 1 V DC (standard), 0 – 10 V DC (optional)
– digital (optional): USB, RS-232, Wi-Fi, RS-422 – see model FS1-422
