Overview
The MK1500 is a foil strain-gauge tension sensor with a lightweight aluminium-alloy body for continuous web-tension monitoring. It converts the pulling force on moving or stationary material into a stable, precise signal, supporting closed-loop tension control on automated production lines.
Key Features
- Foil strain-gauge tension sensing
- Lightweight aluminium-alloy body
- Real-time tension feedback for control
- Helps prevent breakage, deformation and slack
- High accuracy (0.5%F.S) for precise measurement
- Aluminum alloy elastic element for durability and corrosion resistance
Applications
Applied to battery winding and coating machines, textile and printing lines, bag-making and labelling, paper and film winding, and wire, cable and extrusion machinery.
