MONTALVO ANNOUNCES NEW CUSTOMIZABLE WEB SENSING ROLL

The Montalvo Corporation, international specialists in industrial web control systems, announces its new TNT-Series web tension sensing roll.

It features a unique Montalvo-designed, highly sensitive strain gauge system and a high-performance lightweight, low-inertia aluminum tube manufactured by Componex™ which combine to produce an integrated sensing roll "that will fit virtually any application," says Ed Montalvo.

The roller offers flexible mounting options and customizable roll widths.

The TNT roll can be ordered in a wide variety of sizes (from 80mm diameter), lengths, and load ranges (from 125N). It is a versatile machine component for both OEMs and end users.

          Other features:

          • Only one connector is needed

          • Drop-in replacement

          • Shaft ends can be customized.

Montalvo says it works as follows: The strain gauges of the TNT-series load cell form a full bridge configuration. The force from the tension on the web bends the sensing beams (mounted internally on each end of the roll) and, as a result, the resistance of each strain gauge changes to produce an output signal proportional to the web’s tension.

Montalvo Introduces U Series Load Cells

 

As a replacement and upgrade to its popular UPB Series of Load Cells, Montalvo has introduced the U-Series. This new load cell is constructed of stainless steel and carries an IP67 classification, water resistant protection rating. In addition, the product will be supplied ready to mount a customer supplied, pillow block bearing. There is no additional machining required.

 

The low profile design permits more accurate measurement of tension in any moving web due to a new beam design and limited response to non-tension related forces.

 

The U-Series is manufactured in two standard sizes, U50 and U75, with load rating up to 5000 Lbs, and one special order size, U125, which is available in load rating as high as 15000 Lbs.
